Answer:

Glucose is a high potential energy molecule.

Step-by-step explanation:

Glucose is a high potential energy molecule. Carbon dioxide on the other hand is a very stable, low potential energy molecule. When a glucose molecule is converted to carbon dioxide and water during cellular respiration, energy is released and stored in high potential energy ATP molecules.
