    a. Chemical energy

    b. Potential energy

    Explanation:

    Glucose is a carbohydrate and is made up of six C, twelve H, and six O atoms. These atoms are bonded together by covalent bonds in glucose and the energy stored in these bonds is called the chemical energy. When these bonds are broken down, as it occurs during cellular respiration, the stored chemical energy of glucose is released. Since glucose molecules are present in the body cells, their energy represents the potential energy which in turn is the energy stored in the molecules.
