when glucose is released from glycogen, the sugar molecule can be used by the cell to produce 38 ATP molecules(2 from glycolysis, 2 from the Krebs cycle, and about 34 from the electron transport system). via catabolism.

The process by which glucose is broken down in animal cells to pyruvate and energy is called glycolysis. The energy released in the conversion allows cells to make adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), which can transport the energy anywhere it is needed. Enzymes then break down the ATP or NADH to provide energy to specific parts of the cell. The whole process involves about ten different chemical reactions. In the first half of the reactions, energy is used, but by the end of the process, the lost energy is replaced and doubled.

Chloroplasts are organelles that allow plants to make sugars through a process called Photosynthesis. This process is complex, but can be summarized by the typical reaction equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O -> C6H12O6 + 6O2.
