What happens when chemical reactions break down glucose molecules into simpler substances and trap their stored energy in ATP?

It isn't. ATP is a considerably larger molecule than glucose.
Although glucose is not literally broken down into ATP, the energy from the glucose molecule is transferred to ATP molecules. The energy in each ATP moelcule is much less than in a glucose molecule, and is a more convenient amount for the cell to use. Just think how a small denomination bill (£ or $) can be more convenient than a large one for small transactions.

The series of chemical reactions in which a molecule of glucose is broken down is called?
The part of cellular respiration in which glucose is broken down is called the glycolysis. The chemical energy to produce ATP come from the breakdown of carbon based molecules into the smaller molecules.
What is the chemical formula of a trisaccharide made of three bonded glucose molecules?
Each glucose molecule has the chemical formula C6H12O6. When three glucose molecules bond, they lose two molecules of water. The chemical formula of a trisaccharide made of three bonded glucose molecules is C18H32O16.
What reactions will usually be irreversible regarding chemical equilibrium in human bodies?
A) glucose to co2 and h20 B) ADP+Pi to make H2CO3 C) H2O+ CO2 to make H2CO3 4) glucose molecules joined to make glycogen
Does water participate in chemical reactions?
Yes. Water can participate in chemical reactions. The alkali metals and the akaline earth metals, for example, react with water in much the same way that they do with most acids, replacing hydrogen in the chemical formula and releasing hydrogen gas as a product. With most of the alkali metals this reaction is violent, even explosive.
Series of reactions that produce two ATP molecules by breaking down a glucose molecule to pyruvic acid?
Glycolysis

What is reduced to glucose molecules in carbon reactions?
CO2

What transfers energy from glucose to other molecules during redox reactions in?
Electrons transfer energy from glucose to other molecules during redox reactions in cells.
What parts of chloroplast store the chemical energy in glucose molecules?
Stroma of the chloroplast store the chemical energy in glucose molecules.
Is starch molecules that are formed from smaller glucose molecules a chemical or physical change?
The changing of extra glucose into starch is a chemical change.
Why are most organic molecules are produced by photosynthesis?
Glucose(organic molecule) and oxygen are produced by photosynthesis. Because only plants are capable of synthesizing organic compounds from inorganic substances. The photosynthesis is performed by a number of chemical reactions. The entire process is still beyond the grasp of our technocrates.
What are two chemical reactions that are necessary to give cell energy?
This energy is derived from the chemical bond energy in food molecules, which thereby serve as fuel for cells. The first step is the enzymatic breakdown of food molecules in digestion, and the second step that converts glucose molecules is called glycolysis.
What transfers energy from glucose to other molecules during redox reaction?
Electrons transfer energy from glucose to other molecules during redox reactions in cells.
The chemical process of building glycogen from glucose molecules?
well, you have those glucose molecules and then the enzyme "glycogen synthase" comes in and linkes the glucose molecules by a redox reaction in which water is formed
