Glucose is the starting point for cellular respiration. The electrons from glucose flow through the electron transport train which runs proton pumps that phosphorylates ADP to form ATP. ATP is consumed to do work. Work is equal to negative potential energy.

One molecule of glucose, because 2 ATPs are formed when glucose is broken down to pyruvic acid.


Where is the energy in a glucose moleclue stored?

It isn't stored in any specific place of the molecule. The chemical potential energy is the result of a possible "gain" of energy when the atoms in a glucose molecule combine with other atoms. Thus, the glucose and the other atoms, separately, are at a "higher energy level".

Why does reducing a molecule give that molecule greater potential energy?

Reducing the size of a molecule gives that molecule greater potential energy because the molecule isn't using that energy since it is smaller. Being larger would make less potential energy.
