Glucose is the main molecule use to produce cellular energy (ATP). The formula for cellular respiration is c6h12o6 + 6 o2 ------ 6 co2 + 6 h2o + ATP. This formula basically says that one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen, through cellular respiration, are transformed into six molecules of carbon dioxide, six molecules of water and several molecules of ATP.
As a side note the formula for photosynthesis is 6 co2 + 6 h2o ------ c6h12o6 + 6 o2. This formula basically says that six molecules of carbon dioxide and six molecules of water are, with the energy from light, transformed into one molecule of glucose and six molecules of oxygen.

What can be converted to glucose if your diet is insufficient?
protein would be converted into glucose.
Why do your cells need glucose?

What are three simple sugars in your diet?
glucose, sucrose, galactose,
What are 2 sources of blood glucose?
Diet & the liver (glycogen).
How do we get the glucose we need to power our cell?
How do we get the glucose we need to power our cells?
Where can I check my glucose level if I am going on a glucose diet in the future?
