Glucose is broken down IN cellular respiration, also called the Kreb cycle. Glucose enters this electron transport chain process intact, and is broken down to CO2 and water, while giving off chemical energy which is stored in the form of ATP molecules for the cell to use for chemical energy in metabolic processes. Glucose is not broken down before cellular respiration; it is broken down IN the process.
The first process in breaking down glucose is known as glycolysis. This is the process where the molecules are burned down to release energy.
photosynthesis or cellular respiration.
The digestive processes.
After cellular respiration occurs, the hydrogen that was in glucose gets attracted to the Oxygen atoms and it becomes water. the hydrogen seperates from the carbon in the glucose and it forms another bond with Oxygen. Hope that helped
Glycolysis or "Splitting of sugar", has to happen in the cell's cytoplasm before cellular respiration can occur. I hope this helps!
If oxygen is absent in cellular respiration, then you go to anaerobic respiration. Anaerobic respiration that still uses the electron transport chain., but without oxygen.
Energy sources (long term energy storages) are broken down! Typically when learning about cellular respiration, glucose is used as an example because it is the most convenient source for cellular respiration. However, other sources such as proteins and fats (they insert themselves into glycolysis or the transition step or the Krebs cycle when able) are also broken down. Before they can be broken down, both of these molecules must be broken into their monomers (amino acids for proteins) or smaller molecules (glycerol and fatty acids for fats) and modified. Even if glucose is used as the energy source, polysaccharides like starch in plants and glycogen in humans must be broken down into smaller subunits until it gets to its monomer - glucose. Oxygen could also be considered to be broken down. Molecular oxygen (O2) is split after receiving the low-energy electrons from the electron transport chain to produce 2 water molecules. Short term energy sources like ATP and NADH are also broken down, but the profit of ATP and NADH from cellular respiration greatly outweigh the losses.
Cellular respiration would produce less energy.
Cellular respiration is the process by which a living creature's cells turns glucose.

You shouldn't; it's just a process created by the college board to stress students out before the AP Biology Exam

the glucose molecules must break down into two smaller molecules
Glycolisis is the first step.It is common to aerobic and anerobic respiration.
