Actually it is more proper to say that when cells use energy, they break down a molecule called ATP. That stands for adenosine triphosphate. When it breaks down, energy is released along with giving off carbon dioxide.

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.
What is Glycagon?
Glycagon is a 29 amino acid polypeptide and is an extremely potent hyperglycemic agent. It's a hormone that is produced from alpha cells in the pancreas. Its target is the liver, where it promotes the: 1) break down of glycogen to glucose 2) synthesis of glucose from lactic acid and from noncarbohydrate molecules 3) release of glucose into the blood by liver cells, raising blood glucose levels
What process do living organisms break down glucose?
The Glycolysis process allows living organisms break down glucose
How do your cells obtain glucose?
Plant cells gain glucose by absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and then through the chemical reaction photosynthesis make the glucose. Animal cells gain glucose by taking in oxygen and sugars containing the glucose made by plants.
The process by which cells break down simple food molecules to release energy they contain?
respirstion
What process in cells in needed to break down glucose to release energy?
cellular respiration
Do body cells use cellular respiration to break down glucose?
To release oxygen or to requried energy
Do your cells always use cellular respiration to break down glucose?
no
Does chloroplast release energy when they break down glucose?
yes
How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
What cell part helps plant and animal cells break down glucose?
cytology
What do Cells use to break down glucose and store its energy in molecules of ATP?
oxygen :)
When cells break down carbohydrates for energy what energy currency molecule is produced?
Glucose.
In fermentation what do cells use instead of oxygen to break down glucose?
carbon dioxide
Mitochondrion breaks down what?
They break down glucose to release energy.That energy is stored in ATP.

Glycolysis is a series of reactions that break down what and release its chemical energy?
glucose
