That innocent glucose molecule standing outside has no idea it's about to be dismantled by a family of metabolic processes. First glycolysis will break it down, then the Krebs cycle will oxidize what's left, and finally the electron transport chain will extract every last bit of energy. It's basically a cellular mafia hit - they lure you in with promises of ATP production, then BAM, you're just carbon dioxide and water. The mitochondria sends its regards.
