The cells takes up glucose that you eat. Glucose enters Glycolysis and the Krebs Cycle. These are both reactions that convert glucose to ATP. ATP has three phosphate bonds. Bonds hold atoms together and they require energy. Our bodies then break the third phosphate bond (it holds the most energy). When this energy is released from the bond, we can use it for energy.

adenosinetriphosphate, is the bodys energy source, glucose is broken down in the process called glycolysis, which is a mulitiprocess, by this i mean a long stage of many different reactions. the final product is ppyruvate. to get this 2molecules of ATP are used up and 4 are produced. net total =2.
so therefore it is the reactions that take place in this pathway that produces ATP, ATP is formed by the addition of a Phosphate group to ADP. so when you are asked how Glucose can be converted to high energy bonds in ATP then it is a product of a reaction. ATP can also be produced in the kreb's cycle and in oxidative phosphorylation.

It means the energy required to form the strong(that means high energy) bonds of ATP comes from the chemical reaction in which glucose is involved.

Essentially, your glucose that you have in your body would go through Glycolysis, Tricaboxylic Acid cycle and Electron Transport Phosphorylation to give you ATP. The overall net worth of ATP per molecule of glucose is about 38.
