The whole point of cellular respiration is to harness energy from the original source, glucose, and transform it into a usable and stable source, ATP.

Is glucose used as an energy source?
Not directly. Glucose is used in cellular respiration to turn ADP into ATP, but it is ATP that is used for energy.
What is the main source of energy for ATP production?
Glucose (and CO2)
In cells what is the source of energy for an endergonic reaction?
ATP
What is the source of energy used by the mitochondria?
The source of energy used by mitochondria is ATP.
What is the immediate source of energy to reform ATP into ADP molecules?
glucose
What connection does glucose form with ATP?
Glucose is the energy source for the body. But it cannot use it in that form, so it converts it to ATP for use in metabolism.
What biomolecule is preferred by cells as a source of energy to produce ATP?
This biomolecule is glucose.
What is the primary source of energy produced by cellular respiration?
glucose and oxygen
Why does a plant need to make glucose?
glucose is the primary source of energy. ATP's cannot store a lot of energy so the plats use glucose (C6H12O6) to store their energy.
What is the energy source of the movement of flagella and cilia?
The energy source for flagella and cilia is the ATP (adenosine triphosphate) molecule used throughout the cell. ATP gets its energy from glucose and glycerol, that is from food.
ATP and glucose different?
Yes. Glucose is a sugar, and it is a 6 carbon ring (C6H12O6). ATP is adenosine triphosphate, which is composed of adenosine and 3 phosphates (PO4). ATP is a direct source of energy for the body. When you ingest glucose, it is converted to ATP before it is used.
What is the source ofglucose molecules that are involved in cellular respiration in plants?
The source of glucose used by glycolysis to start aerobic cell respiration is Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). ATP is the energy that is stores in glucose.
