Answer:

A primary role for the glucose molecule is to act as a source of energy; a fuel.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plants and animals use glucose as a soluble, easily distributed form of chemical energy which can be 'burnt' in the cytoplasm and mitochondria to release carbon dioxide, water and energy.
