Question

describe the transfer of energy from the glucose in food, to ATP, to to a cells movement and other functions.

Answer 1

ATP is used to move cilia/flagella via the motor protein dynein, and contraction in muscle cells is enabled by myosin, which also requires ATP. I would strongly recommend that you look up how actin/myosin interact in our muscles.

Answer 2

Glucose is turned into ATP via many different metabolic pathways (pathways differ depending on what type of organism you're talking about).

For Eukaryotes, Glycolysis breaks down glucose to form pyruvate which in turn gets "fixed", creating Acetyl CoA. Acetyl CoA then goes into the Krebs Cycle. In all of these pathways, ATP is generated. ATP is then broken down (phosphate bonds are broken) this creates energy, which in turn, can be used for movement, cell function, etc.

Look up these pathways to get more detailed information, this is just an very general overview.
