Glucose

Glucose is a white compound that a cell can use to make ATP, or to produce Mucilage , in the case of the Slime Jet.

Organelles that convert Glucose to ATP   include Cytoplasm hexes, any protein hexes that are suspended in cytoplasm such as Nitrogenase and Chemosynthesizing proteins, Metabolosomes, and Mitochondria.

Metabolosomes produce ATP from Glucose faster, this speed as well as its efficiency scaling with oxygen. Mitochondria, which is unlocked after getting the Nucleus, is essentially a much more efficient and faster version of Metabolosome.

With enough Light and Carbon Dioxide, Thylakoid organelles, can produce Glucose. Chloroplasts, which are unlocked after getting the Nucleus, are essentially a much more efficient and faster version of Thylakoids.

Tips

 * The cost of the Chemosynthesizing protein’s osmoregulation would use up as much ATP ATP.png as it produces, so its actual use would be more for turning Hydrogen Sulfide into glucose, if enough Carbon Dioxide is available

Trivia

 * Glucose is currently the only energy source compound that your cell can produce on its own
 * The chemical formula for Glucose is C6H12O6
