The first stage of the breakdown of sugar molecules for energy is glycolysis. During glycolysis, a molecule of glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate, producing a small amount of ATP and NADH in the process.
Chloroplasts in plant cells use the energy in light to produce sugar.
Fermentation involves the breakdown of sugar when microorganisms such as yeast or bacteria consume sugar as an energy source in the absence of oxygen. This process converts the sugar into alcohol or acids, producing energy for the microorganisms to grow and carry out other metabolic functions.
A chemical reaction that happens in every cell to break down sugar
Cortisol stimulates the breakdown of protein into glucose, raising blood sugar, thereby providing more energy to deal with stress.
The breakdown of sugar (mainly glucose) is called glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm of a cell. The product of glycolysis is pyruvate, which is used to make ATP energy by the Krebs Cycle in the mitochondria.

In the organelles called mitochondria.
Chloroplasts in plant cells use the energy in light to produce sugar.
The organelles where the stored energy of sugar is released are called mitochondria. Mitochondria are often referred to as the powerhouse of the cell because they convert the stored energy in sugar molecules into usable energy in the form of ATP through a process called cellular respiration.
