Glucose contains stored energy from the sun. C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O Stored energy From the sun
H2O + O2 CO2 Energy from the sun is what it took to build glucose and it retains a portion of that energy in the bonds to be used later by heterotrophs Glucose is stored C6H12O6 + 6O2 6CO2 + 6H2O Stored energy From the sun Photosynthesis
C6H12O6 Sugars are stored in fruits and to a lesser extent in Vegetables (not sweet) and as starch in grains (not sweet)
Leafy vegetables and grasses don’t contain much if any simple Sugars like glucose and no starch. Sugar is used to form cellulose which is not digestible by humans But Cows and Horses can digest it.

Apple trees are Autotrophs They make their own food through photosynthesis Apples are full of glucose from photosynthesis
Glucose enters the blood supply and travels to a cell in the body.
Glucose is used by heterotrophs for energy by breaking down the glucose molecule in the cell to release the energy stored in the bonds. Stored energy From the sun Cellular Respiration 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
When we breathe out, we exhale H2O and CO2 O2 enters the cell to help break down glucose O2 ATP H2O H2O ATP Glucose ends up as H2O and CO2 ATP CO2 CO2 H2O H2O CO2 Glucose is broken down by the cell to provide energy in the form of ATP.
