the glucose is break down in the cell by
1)glycolysis
2)preparation of pyruvic acid
3) kreb's cycle or citric acid cycle or CAC or tricarboxylic acid cycle
4)oxidative phosphorylation
and after that ATP is produced which is the energy currency of our body

How do cells use a high calorie molecule such as glucose?
Glucose is broken down and used in the process called cellular respiration. Basically the glucose is converted to ATP, which is used as energy by the cell. Carbon dioxide is released as a product and expelled as waste from the body.
Glucose is a molecule that can move across the cell membrane if the concentration of glucose is high or inside the cell than outside the cell then what will happen by the process of diffusion?
glucose molecules will diffuse out of the cell. apex

Can other molecules besides glucose be used in cellular respiration?
ADP can be used to produce ATP in Cellular Respiration, as well.
The hormone responsible for helping glucose move into cells especially muscle fibers which lowers blood glucose levels when they are too high?
insulin
What occurs in cells during respiration?
In essence, respiration uses glucose and oxygen to produce high energy molecules known as ATP.

What is the glucose sensor in B-cells Why?
glucokinase. glucokinase has a high km(low affinity for glucose) so glucokinase only phosphorylates glucose when blood glucose is high, such as after a meal. As such, it makes sense that this would be sensor for B-cells
What is glucose receptors?
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.

If cells are placed in a solution with a high concentration of solute water will?
the molecules will pass from the salt solution to the cells.
The hormone responsible for helping glucose move into cells especially muscle fibers which lowers blood glucose levels when they are too high?
insulin
Negative feedback with increase in blood glucose?
negative feedback can increase the concentration of glucose in the blood stream. if the blood glucose levels are too low, alpha cells will produce glucagon which causes the liver to break glycogen down into glucose. it is then released into the blood stream which increase the blood glucose levels.if it is too high, the beta cells will produce insulin which causes the liver and muscle cells to form glycogen from glucose. In addition, other cells are encouraged to use glucose in cell respiration rather than fats.both the beta and alpha cells are produced from the pancreas.
How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
Why do cells need energy to survive?
cells are composed of highly ordered molecules that contain high-energy hydrocarbon bonds
