Process which by plants and animals break down sugar and turn it into energy.
Purpose is it provides cells with the energy they need to function.
They are both mammals so they have the same similarities
<span>Sugars are chains of carbon with -OH or alcohol groups hang off each carbon. When two sugars join, the -OH groups of two sugars merge. One sugar loses the -H off the -OH, and the other loses the -OH, which joins the -H (or an equivalent H) to become HOH, better known as water. The sugars can then be joined by carbons being linked to the same O witch is also called an ether bond.
I hope this helps. </span>
