Does oxidation of glucose yield more energy than glycogen?

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.


What is realeased by the body as waste during respiration?

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.


Is glucose a source of energy in the cell?

Glucose is a sugar, so yes it is a source of energy.


What converts energy to glucose?

Glucose is broken down to release energy during respiration.


What is the chemical formula for the respiration of glucose using oxygen?

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. )
