why do animal cells need glucose
Glucose is found in animal cells. Plant use glucose to stay alive, glucose acts like food to the plants. Plants do not store glucose, but, they turn glucose into starch and st â¦ ore them in their leaves.When they cannot photosynthesise and they need food, they would turn starch back into glucose and use them.t is used as an energy source in cells is via aerobic or anaerobic respiration. Both of these start with the early steps of the glycolysis metabolic pathway. The first step of this is the phosphorylation of glucose by hexokinase to prepare it for later breakdown to provide energy.
