Yes, these plants do need to break down glucose to obtain usable energy. However, they do not need to do it all the time. At night, when sunlight is unavailable, they go through reactions that are termed as "Dark Reactions" to break down glucose and create energy.

What does the cell get when it breaks the bonds of the glucose molecule?
when you break the bonds of the glucose molecule you get energy.
The body breaks down during cellular respiration?
Cellular respiration is the process by which microorganisms obtain the energy available in carbohydrates. They take the carbohydrates into their cytoplasm, and through a complex series of metabolic processes, they break down the carbohydrate and release the energy. The energy is generally not needed.
Does chloroplast release energy when they break down glucose?
yes
Why is respiration important?
Respiratory system is important because it helps in compounding air we breathe and glucose into energy.This energy helps in our daily activities.
Mitochondria break down glucose to form?
ATP (energy), CO2, and water.
What product left over when cells of green plants break down food to obtain energy?
It is sugar
What provides the initial energy to break down glucose during glycolysis?
ATP provides energy to break down glucose during glycolysis.
What substance can a plant make as a store of energy?
Most plants store energy in the form of starch. The process of photosynthesis allows plants to convert the sun's energy into glucose, which is then converted into starch. The plant can then break the starch back down whenever energy is needed.

How do animals and humans obtain energy to keep them?
Animals and humans eat food to stay alive. Metabolic processes break down the food (plants and animals) to obtain energy, and the materials needed to build and repair the body.
How does a decomposer get energy?
Decomposers get energy in much the same way as heterotrophs (e.g. humans) obtain energy. They take organic matter called detritus (e.g. dead leaves, wood etc.), and take the chemical potential energy out of it. Wood, for example, has much chemical potential energy (as you can tell from a wood fire). Decomposers break apart the cellulose in the wood into sugar monomers, and then do cellular respiration to "burn" it. Humans only differ in the source of the sugar molecules; rather than obtaining the sugar molecules from, say, potatoes decomposers obtain them from detritus.
Does chloroplast release energy when they break down glucose?
yes
When cells break down carbohydrates for energy what energy currency molecule is produced?
Glucose.
How did Glucose enter the food chain?
Plants (and some protists and bacteria) take carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and use it to make glucose through photosynthesis. They are then eaten by other organisms that break down the glucose for energy and carbon building blocks. Glucose is only in the food chain when the producer is eaten. The energy and matter is then passed on from the consumer in other chemical forms as they are eaten.
Mitochondria convert the energy stored in?
ATP.Mitochondria break down glucose. This energy is stored in ATP
How do muscles produce energy?
muscles use chemical energy in glucose , as the bonds in glucose break, chemical energy changes to mechanical energy and the muscle contracts.. well there you go that how you produce mechanical energy :)
