Verified step by step guidance

Begin by understanding the process of cellular respiration, which is a series of metabolic reactions that convert biochemical energy from nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), releasing waste products.

Recognize that glucose is a type of carbohydrate, and during cellular respiration, its chemical bonds are broken down to release energy.

Identify the type of energy stored in chemical bonds. This energy is known as chemical energy, which is released when bonds are broken or formed during chemical reactions.

Consider the options provided: Chemical energy, Nuclear energy, Kinetic energy, and Thermal energy. Understand that nuclear energy involves changes in the nucleus of atoms, kinetic energy is related to motion, and thermal energy is related to heat.

Conclude that the energy released during the breakdown of glucose in cellular respiration is chemical energy, as it involves the transformation of energy stored in chemical bonds into usable energy for the cell.
