Plants convert sunlight energy into chemical potential energy through the process of photosynthesis. The plant can then utilize this stored energy by breaking the bonds of the glucose through the process of cellular respiration, which takes place in the mitichondria of the cell.
Animals can obtain this chemical potential energy when they consume plants or other animals. What they eat is broken down by digestion into the simple sugar glucose which is also used by the mitochondria at the cell level to release the stored energy in the form of ATP.
Many living things release energy from the sugar molecule glucose.
The breakdown of food molecules releases energy to cells.
The breakdown of food molecules releases energy to cells.
All living things require a source of energy.
glucose is the source of energy for all living things.
The source of all your cells needs for living is found in food. The most common source is sugars, mainly glucose. Glucose is the starting point for all metabolism.
why does the sun provide that living things need?
The main source of living things is the break down of carbon. Carbon is essential to life. It is at the base of every organic compound.
yes
sunlight

Glucose, which is a carbohydrate. Actually, the correct answer is ATP.
