Glucose is a simple form of sugar, also known as sucrose or dextrose, it is made from plants as a form of food. Also, its a form of a calorie.
It is also the only sugar our body can use, and it is part of a carbohydrate.

Glucose is broken down to release energy during respiration.
C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6 H 2 O = 6 C O 2 + 6 H 2 O. This is oversimplification used some times. Actually there are about 22 steps taken to break down the glucose and is called biological oxidation. Here energy is realeased in stepwise pattern. But the end products and amount of energy is same in both cases. ( Law of conservation of energy in chemical reactions. )
The process of cellular respiration extracts the energy found in glucose.
The chemical energy in glucose molecules is stored in the bonds between the atoms within the glucose molecule itself. The process of photosynthesis in chloroplasts converts light energy into chemical energy, which is stored in the form of glucose molecules.
the processes by which energy is realeased from glucose or other foodmolecules in the cells of living things is called respiration.

No. The oxidation of glycogen yields more energy than glucose. You need to put energy in formation of the glycogen from glucose. Naturally, this energy is released, when you get get glucose from glycogen.
During respiration, the body releases carbon dioxide as waste. This occurs when cells break down glucose and produce energy through a process called cellular respiration. Carbon dioxide is then exhaled from the body through the lungs.
Glucose is a sugar, so yes it is a source of energy.

Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water + Energy/ATP
