is the sugar glucose. Animals and other organisms are heterotrophs (other- feeders). They must consume other organisms (plants) in order to eventually get their glucose. Both plants and animals use glucose as an input to the process of Cellular Respiration (another subject) to produce ATP molecules. ATP molecules are the energy source for all metabolic processes.

1 Western Governors University 2 Hereditary Fructose Intolerance Metabolism is the process of cellular respiration. It involves three steps‚ 1) glycolysis‚ 2) the citric acid or Krebs cycle and 3) electron transport system. The glycolytic pathway or glycolysis is a metabolic process that leads to the formation of the energy source adenosine triphosphate (ATP) in the body. ATP is essential to the cell and the cellular processes used by the cell. The first step‚ glycolysis is the process

This process is known as respiration. When cells find it difficult to obtain oxygen that they need for aerobic respiration‚ the process
