ATP and glucose are similar because they are both chemical sources of energy used by cells.
They are very different in terms of composition and structure. Glucose is made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen only whereas ATP has phosphorus and nitrogen in addition to the aforementioned three elements. Also, glucose is different from ATP in that the glucose does not have an aromatic ring even if it has a six membered cyclic ring.

Sounds like a homework question but here's some basics.. Similarities: They are both used as sources for energy. They hold energy in their chemical bonds. Differences: Glucose is used to make ATP. This is done through glycolisis, and the Kreb's cycle. Glucose is not used for energy directly, ATP is. Glucose: C6H12O6 ATP: adenosine triphosphate, an ester of adenosine and triphosphoric acid, C10H12N5O4H4P3O9

ATP= adenosine tri-phosphate
Glucose = carbohydrate
Both are energy storage mediums. You breakdown glucose through the Kreb's Cycle and also oxidative phosphorylation to construct ATP. ATP is used a the cellular level as an energy source-metabolism.

Glucose and ATP are different.
Glucose is the most simpliest food our body can convert to ATP but not only Glucose.
ATP is the only energy our cells can use.
Glucose - is a monosaccharide carbohydrate that is the most simpliest carbohydrate our cells can convert to ATP
ATP - Adenosine Triphosphate - The only form of energy our body can use

Similarity
Both are a source of energy.Both are involved in the dark reaction.ATP(adenosine tri phosphate) as reactant and glucose as a product.
Difference
ATP is formed when ADP molecules gain energy.
It is formed in the light reaction.
ADP + E-------ATP
glucose is formed when NADPH,RUBP,CO2 and ATP combines.
It is formed in the dark reaction.
6CO2 +12RuBP + 12NADPH2 + 18ATP------
C6H12O6 + 12RuBP + 12 NADP + 18ADP +18PO4 + 6H2O

ATP and Glucose are same when they take it as a source of energy
but they are different becoz ATP is Adenosine Tri Phosophate
and Glucose is C6H12O6
