The equation shows cellular respiration. During cellular respiration, glucose combines with oxygen to form carbon dioxide,

water, and ATP.
C8H12O6 + 60, 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP
What happens to the energy in the bonds in glucose?
The energy is transferred to oxygen.
The energy is transferred to carbon dioxide.
The energy is transferred to water.
The energy is transferred to ATP.

The energy in the bonds in glucose is transferred to ATP

Step-by-step explanation:

Glycolysis also knew as the glycolytic pathway is a chain of some chemical reactions that occurs in most cells that divides down a glucose molecule into a pair of pyruvates molecules. The energy delivered during the categorization of glucose and other organic fuel molecules during glycolysis is caught and saved in ATP.

The electrons come basically from glucose and are commuted to the electron carrier chain. A glucose molecule is transformed into carbon dioxide and its energy is accumulated as ATP.
