Glucose is broken down and used in the process called cellular respiration. Basically the glucose is converted to ATP, which is used as energy by the cell. Carbon dioxide is released as a product and expelled as waste from the body.

How do cells use a high-calorie molecule such as glucose?
the glucose is break down in the cell by 1)glycolysis 2)preparation of pyruvic acid 3) kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle or CAC or tricarboxylic acid cycle 4)oxidative phosphorylation and after that ATP is produced which is the energy currency of our body
What is the purpose of the breakdown of glucose in a cell?
For energy, they need energy to keep the organism they're part of going. Cells use oxygen (if possible) to break down the glucose into carbon dioxide and water. This is called aerobic respiration. If not oxygen is available (if your using a lot like during exercise) then the cells will break down the glucose anaerobically to make lactic acid which can hard your cells. This all happens in the mitochondria of your cells.

What is a high energy molecule used by cells?
Adenosine TriPhosphate is a high energy molecule used in the Kreb cycle of the mitochondria, the powerhouse of the cell.
The hormone responsible for helping glucose move into cells especially muscle fibers which lowers blood glucose levels when they are too high?
insulin

What is the glucose sensor in B-cells Why?
glucokinase. glucokinase has a high km(low affinity for glucose) so glucokinase only phosphorylates glucose when blood glucose is high, such as after a meal. As such, it makes sense that this would be sensor for B-cells

What is glucose receptors?
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.
What is the high-energy molecule used by cells?
ATP
What is the high energy molecule used by cells?

What molecule is initially used to produce quick high quality energy in a cell?
Glucose.
What molecule stores the high energy removed from glucose in glycolysis?
Seriously? Read your textbook!!

What energy from foods is not used directly it is stored in a high energy molecule called?
The high energy molecule is called ATP or Adenesine Tri Phosphate which is produced when glucose is broken down.
High energy molecule used by cells?
ATP (adenine triphosphate)
