Every cell‚ whether it belongs to a plant‚ bacteria or a human‚ requires energy from varying food sources to survive. However‚ when cells break down food into its sugar components‚ i.e glucose‚ they cannot use the components directly because glucose holds a lot of energy it would be inefficient to use for reactions that don’t need a lot of energy. Imagine you want to buy pencils for $5 from a store that won’t give change‚ it is more economical to use a $5 or $10 bill than a $100‚ that way there is
