What type of energy transformation takes place during cellular respiration? use complete sentences to explain how energy is conserved during cellular respiration.

The energy transformation that takes place during cellular respiration is the conversion of glucose (chemical energy) to another form of compound with high energy bonds (adenosine triphosphate) that can be readily used by the body.

All energy on Earth comes from the sun. From this, photosynthetic organisms produce organic glucose from inorganic compounds such as water and oxygen. These producers will then be consumed by consumers and the energy will be passed from prey to predator. In cellular respiration, the energy from the sun is stored in the form of high energy chemical bonds that is broken to release energy and formed to store energy.
