It is used as an energy source in cells is via aerobic or anaerobic respiration. Both of these start with the early steps of the glycolysis metabolic pathway. The first step of this is the phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase to prepare it for later breakdown to provide energy.
The major reason for the immediate phosphorylation of glucose by a hexokinase is to prevent diffusion out of the cell. The phosphorylation adds a charged phosphate group so the glucose 6-phosphate cannot easily cross the cell membrane. Irreversible first steps of a metabolic pathway are common for regulatory purposes.

A plant needs glucose for energy, if it didn't have glucose it would die.
I don't know. I'm just wondering why for science! :( HELP ME! I'm sorry if you needed to know this. :'(
Glucose is very important to plant cells because this is their form of food. This is why plants use photosynthesis.
Cellulose, consisting mainly of glucose molecules, is the most important substance in plant cell walls.
It gives them energy.
Plant cells need glucose to respire.
for energy
glucose. and the little purple cells ok ?
Cellular Respiration is when plant and animal cells release energy stored in the bonds of glucose molecules.
Mitochondria- animal and plant cells Chloroplasts- only plant cells in the animal cell, the mitochondria converts sugars and fats (glucose) into energy (ATP). in the plant cell, the chloroplasts convert solar energy into glucose, then the mitochondria converts the glucose into energy.
Chloroplasts and a beta glucose-based cell wall.
Chloroplasts, central vacuole and cell wall
Animal cells - this is wrong answer Plant cells containing chloroplasts produce glucose by photosynthesis.
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.
glucose. and the little purple cells ok ?
Respiration occurs in both animal and plant cells but photosynthesis occurs in plant cells. Respiration is defined as the oxidation of glucose to release energy, both plant and animal cells respire glucose.
cytology
Plants produce glucose by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy to build up glucose, which the plant stores in the form of long chains of starch.

Organ
They, with their included Grana and Stroma, distingush Plant Cells from Animal Cells.
No, it is not a plant cell, but is an important organelle (parts of cells) in both plant and animal cells
