-All cells must have energy to function. Glucose and other sugars are cell food, that is, they are the power source for cell activities in almost all living things.

-During cellular respiration, the cells use oxygen to release energy stored in sugars such as glucose. Actually, most of the energy used by the cells in your body is provided by cellular respiration. The process produces chemical energy in the form of ATP that can be utilized by a cell.
