Answer:

The glucose is broken down in the blood to release CO2 ,which returned to the atmosphere through the process of respiration  !

Explanation:

  • When the animal eats the plant , the glucose is absorbed in the blood stream through the intestine.
  • The glucose enter the cell,through the cytoplasm into the mitrochondria
  • Mitrochondria is called the power house of the cell , it generates the energy through break down of glucose
  • The process of breaking the glucose into energy is a cycle called the glycolysis .
  • At the end of this process CO2 is by product ,that is taken by circulating blood to the lungs
  • From there through the alveoli the gases are exchange due to difference in the partial pressure and CO2 is expelled out and oxygen enters blood stream and the cycle continues .
