C. lipids, triglycerides
D. glucose, ATP

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is option D.

Hope this helps you

Answer:

In the process of respiration, energy is released from glucose molecules and stored in smaller ATP molecules.

Explanation:

Among carbohydrates, protein and fat, carbohydrates are metabolized first on respiration.  

  • Glucose first breaks into pyruvic acid (Glycolysis)
  • Pyruvic acid forms acetyl coA (Link reaction)  
  • Acetyl coA enters into the kreb cycle, where ATP is formed.  
  • ATP formed through substrate level phosphorylation (direct ATP) and Electron transport chain (indirect ATP).
  • NADH2 and FADH2 formed during respiration enters into ETC where they form ATP through oxidative phosphorylation.  

Thus, we can say that the correct option is D. Glucose, ATP.
