The food we eat contains chemical energy. Which statement BEST explains how this energy is released? a. Cells burn the food molecules which releases energy as heat which powers body
movements.
b. Chemical energy is directly released when eaten food is digested.
c. Cells remove and capture the energy in food molecules all at once, then store it for later
use.
d. Chemical bonds in food molecules are broken, releasing energy and allowing cells to use
the energy to make ATP.

D

Explanation:

The chemical bonds in food molecules are broken, releasing energy and allowing cells to use the energy to make ATP. (I don't really have a better explanation, but I hope it's right xd)  

both anaerobic and aerobic respiration use glucose (or other carbohydrates), proteins and lipids to produce atp and nadh. cell uses those energy molecules, obtained from food and   breaks them down during the chemical reactions of respiration. in anaerobic respiration, nadh is regenerated to nad+ by enzymes lactate dehydrogenase (lactate is produced, e.g. in muscle cells) or by alcohol dehydrogenase where ethanol is produced (alcohol fermentation), while in aerobic respiration, electrons from nadh are deposited in the mitochondria to regenerate nad+ (electron transport chain. anaerobic respiration produces 2 atp per molecule of glucose compared to aerobic respiration where about 38 atp molecules are produced.
