How do we use energy after respiration?

Question

I know that during respiration Glucose+Oxygen = Energy+CO2+Water, but what form of energy is produced? And how does that energy drive the muscles?

Answer 1

respiration forms Adonine Triose Phosphate (or ATP) as its main energy product (through various stages of the respiritory cycle: i.e. glycolysis, link reaction, krebs cycle etc). this ATP contains a high energy bond which can be eaisily broken to release energy which muscle mass etc can then utilise
