The mitochondria breaks down chemical bonds the cell can use for energy

The food molecule needed for cells to respire is glucose. Glucose serves as the primary source of energy for cellular respiration, a process that converts glucose into ATP, the energy currency of the cell.
That is the respiration. It breaks down glucose.
The energy in a glucose molecule is stored in the chemical bonds between its carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms. When these bonds are broken through processes like cellular respiration, energy is released for the cell to use.
The Mitochondria in a cell breaks down the Glucose
C6H12O6 + 6O2 --> 6CO2 + 6H2O ( + the energy currency of the cell, ATP synthesis ) This is the equation of cellular respiration where glucose is oxidized and oxygen reduced while 36 ATP are synthesized from every molecule of glucose. ATP does the cell's work and with this energy locked in the bonds of the ATP molecule you could not live a second.

it breaks down in the mitochondra
It transports the glucose through transport proteins.

The glucose transporter is a membrane bound protein that binds to glucose and mediates it's transport into or out of the cell.
Water will move out of the cell. Glucose will not move into the cell without the help of a helper molecule. Glucose molecules will diffuse into the cell.(APEX)

No, pyruvate is a molecule produced from the breakdown of glucose during glycolysis.
The cell can produce a net gain of 2 ATP molecules from a single molecule of glucose through the process of glycolysis. This occurs during the conversion of glucose to pyruvate.
