Cellular respiration is the process by which cells break down glucose and other molecules to produce energy in the form of ATP. It takes place in the mitochondria of cells and involves three main stages: glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport chain. The overall equation for cellular respiration is: glucose + oxygen → carbon dioxide + water + energy (ATP).

Glycogen, a polymer of glucose, is formed as a storage compound in the body. Glycogen may be broken down (glycogenolysis) to glucose for use in respiration. If what you want is a process that forms carbohydrates from non-carbohydrate sources, that would be gluconeogenesis.
Cellular respiration is more effective in producing energy for cells compared to fermentation. Cellular respiration generates much more ATP (energy) per glucose molecule compared to fermentation. Fermentation is less efficient as it produces only two molecules of ATP per glucose molecule, while cellular respiration can yield up to 36-38 ATP molecules.

They use energy from carbon -di-oxide & it is known as anaerobic respiration.It occurs in the absence of oxygen & release 2 molecules of ATP from one glucose molecule. It also produces alcohol & lactic acid
The entire surface of the amoeba is its respiratory surface. It is always wet because the amoeba lives in water, and oxygen continually diffuses in and carbon dioxide continually diffuses out.
