Answer 1

OA

Step-by-step explanation:

Chemical energy refers to the energy that is released with reactions involving chemicals. Cellular respiration takes glucose(a five carbon sugar) and breaks it down using glycolysis, then makes ATP(adenisine-triphosphate)(an essential chemical to the energy of life) using the krebs cycle and the electron transport train. This is all to get a surplus ATP, which is a useable CHEMICAL ENERGY source. This energy can be diverted to any system in the body, including the muscular system. Then, the muscles are used MECHANICALLY(look at the types of muscle levers in anatomy) to acheive work, thanks to the CHEMICAL ENERGY produced in cellular respiration. Thus, the answer in OA.
