How are insulin and blood sugar related?
insulin helps transport the blood sugar into cells were sugar is needed. insulin is related to blood sugar cause insulin can lower blood sugar level.
What is sugar broke down for in cells?
energy
Which hormone is released when your blood sugar rises?
Insulin is released, when your blood sugar rises. Insulin is secreted by the beta cells from hormone producing cells of the pancreas gland. Insulin lowers down the blood sugar level.
How does the path of sugar to your body cells look like?
Depends on how you consume the sugar. Usually through blood cells, but sometimes the sugar enters straight to your cells. There is no definite answer.
Does eating sugar kill white blood cells?
No
What are 2 good functions of iron?
Iron converts blood sugar to energy. Iron is also essential in the production of red blood cells. The immune system is also dependent on iron.
What insulin production is the responsibility of?
It takes sugar in the blood into muscle to be burned as energy.
Where is radiant energy used?
Plant leaves for the production of sugar and cellulose. Animal skin for the production of vitamin D. Solar cells for the production of electricity.
Why do you get instant energy from glucose?
Sugar is a sugar called sucrose, that the body converts into glucose for energy.
What organ is responsible for such vital functions as regulating blood sugar energy production as well as hormone production and regulation?
The pancreas.The pancreas is a gland organ in the digestive and endocrine system of vertebrates. It produces insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin which regulate blood sugarThe pancreas. beta cells secrete insulin which decreases blood glucose. and alpha cells secrete glucagon that increase glucagon.Pancreas
Blood sugar used by the cells in the production energy?
HOW IS blood sugar used by cells in the production of energy? I'm going to try to answer this question in fairly simple terms. If you need more detail let me know, or read through your biology text. Remember that sugar is not directly used for energy by cells. It is too large and complex. Cells instead use a chemical called ATP to fuel their energy needs. So how does blood sugar end up as ATP? Sugar is shuttled out of your bloodstream and into your cells by the action of a hormone called insulin. Once inside the cell, the sugar will be broken down in a process called glycolysis. Since a normal glucose molecule is a 6-carbon molecule (C6 H12 O6), it is too big to be directly used by the mitochondria for energy production. Once the glucose has been broken down into a 2-carbon form called "Acetyl Co-A" through glycolysis, it can then go through the Krebs Cycle, and eventually be used to fuel the Electron Transport Chain in the mitochondria. The E.T.C. is the major producer of ATP for the cell. That's why the mitochondria is often called the "power plant" of the cell, since that is where the Electron Transport Chain is located.
How it is possible that Stem Cell Treatment is good for Diabetes?
All the cells in your body need energy to survive. This energy is carried around the body as sugar (glucose) in the blood. Normally, blood sugar levels are controlled by the release of the hormone insulin. Insulin is made by cells in the pancreas called beta cells that are arranged into structures called Islets of Langerhans. In one human pancreas there are roughly one million Islets of Langerhans. The insulin produced by these cells transfers sugar from the blood stream into cells around the body so that it can be used for energy.
How do humans lose their energy?
The cells in your body require energy to function. To get this energy the cells go through a process called respiration. The cells use glucose(sugar) and oxygen to form energy, water, and carbon dioxide. Blood carries oxygen, glucose, and other materials to cells. If the cells are vigorously used (which happens a lot in muscle cells) the use all the materials the blood can provide them. After resting the cells get materials from the blood again and can function more and are less tired.
What will happen if you stop taking insulin?
If you stop taking insulin, your body will not be able to transport glucose(sugar) into your cells. Glucose is the chief energy source for all the body's cells. Your blood sugar level will increase, and your cells will essentially begin to starve for lack of an energy source.
Which cells are prone to damage from low blood sugar?
The red blood cells
What is the main sugar used by cells for energy?
Cells have multiple sources of nutrients including fats and sugars, that can be used to create energy. As far as sugar is concerned, glucose is the sugar that is used by cells to produce energy.
Can you think of an example other than body heat where a negative feedback loop is utilized with the body?
Increased blood sugar will cause insulin production to rise and the cells will store the excess sugar, increased blood pressure causes a slower heart rate and decrease in oxygen levels will increase red blood cell production.
