Once the body breaks down glucose it'll turn it into glycogen which stored in the muscles for about 2-3 hrs, however if u don't use it in that period the body will transformed it to triglyceride (body fat) and use later. Once ur body starts demanding energy it will retract glycogen or triglyceride and break it down and turn it into ATP.

What do both plant and animal cells break down to get energy?

Both plant and animal cells break down glucose (C6H12O6) in order to create adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, which provides energy for the cell. Plant cells are able to manufacture glucose through photosynthesis, but animal cells must acquire the glucose by ingesting it from another source. Both types of cells undergo cellular respiration, which is the process by which the ATP is produced out of glucose.
