Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In higher animals, including humans, glucose is obtained from food and is readily absorbed into the bloodstream from the intestines. The blood then carries glucose throughout the body, where it is absorbed into cells and used for energy during cellular respiration.

Detailed explanation-2: -Animals store glucose in the form of glycogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Animal cells require glucose for oxidative and non-oxidative, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production, and for anabolic reactions that produce various vital sugars [2]. Several cell types and tissues such as the brain, red blood cells, kidney, and mammary tissues have the utmost need for glucose as a substrate [3].
