The most important means of releasing energy from the glucose molecule is initiated by glycolysis.Glycolysis means splitting of the glucose molecule to form two molecules of pyruvic acid.The end products of glycolysis are then oxidized to provide energy.
Three reactions of glycolysis are highly exogernic,resulting in highly negative free energy changes that are irreversible and must be bypassed by different enzymes.These enzymes are hexokinase, Phosphofructokinase(PFK) and pyruvate kinase.
When the body's stores of carbohydrates decrease below normal,moderate quantities of glucose can be formed from amino acids and the glycerol portion of fat.This process is called gluconeogenesis. It is an important pathway that allows the body to store needed energy for the brain in the form if glucose.
I believe the answer is plants make flowers to attract insects because, plants do nit store carbohydrates, meat does, and we cant use plants to create fossil fuel. The only plant fibers we use for clothing is cotton so that is very limited in the wide aspect of things.
