Glucose is the easiest molecule for your body to convert into energy and is your body's immediate go - to for fuel.

(We have to remember that our body does run on glucose as its main fuel, so it would not make sense to vilify glucose molecules, what all sugars break down into more or less.)

During atomization the fuel still remains in liquid form, it's just broken up into small droplets consisting of multiple fuel molecules.

Once this mixture of fuel droplets, and air is inside the cylinder, and a spark occurs do the air molecules gain kinetic energy, then collide into the atomised fuel, and the individual fuel molecules break apart thus turning fuel from a liquid to a gas (vaporisation), then those fuel molecules combines with the air molecule, then combustion occurs?
