Glucose is a six-carbon sugar molecule. Your body first converts this molecule into two three-carbon pyruvate molecules through the process of glycolysis and then into acetyl CoA. When your body requires immediate energy, acetyl CoA enters the Citric Acid Cycle creating energy molecules in the form of ATP. When glucose intake exceeds your body's energy needs. For example, you eat an ice-cream sundae and then go relax on the sofa for five hours. Your body has no need to create more energy molecules. Therefore, acetyl CoA begins the process of fatty acid synthesis becoming triglycerides that are stored in the fat tissues of your body. These triglycerides are stored energy molecules which can be broken down later to give you the energy you need to, for example, get up off the couch and go for a bike ride.

What is produce in photosynthesis?
OxygenFood (glucose)Starch (excess food/glucose)
Is glucose bigger than a protein?
No, glucose is a sugar. And a carbohydrate. Google sugar.
Excess glucose is converted to another type of sugar called what?
glucose is converted into a sugar called sucrose Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver. It is released as needed between meals.
What happens to excess glucose during photosynthesis?
troll
Describe how glucose molecules enter a cell by facilitated diffusion?
protein
What happens to excess carbohydrates?
all excess carbohydrate turn into fat or are converted into glucose
Is it true that excess protein turns to fat?
Yes. Excess everything in your diet gets turned to fat. The body uses a carb called glucose to power everything. All carbs are eventually broken down into glucose like molecules (except cellulose). If you aren't getting enough carbs in your diet then your liver starts making glucose from protein by a process called gluconeogensis. The excess glucose produced will then be turned into fat. Long term high protein low carb diets will deprive your body of the nutrients it needs by converting all the nutrients into glucose.

What kind of macromolecule is insulin?
Glucose is grouped as a Carbohydrate.
Is glucose the smallest type of protein?
Glucose is not a protein, it is a carbohydrate.
When protein consumption is in excess of body needs and energy needs are met the excess amino acids are metabolized and the energy in the molecule is what?
Our bodies cannot store excess protein once it is consumed, so the excess amino acids are converted to carbon skeletons that are turned into glucose or fat and then stored as fat or metabolized for energy needs. **stored as glycogen & fat** jmata~

Why would your family physician at the turn of the twentieth century taste your urine?
To see if it's sweet. This would mean there is insufficient glucose reabsorption by the kidney to the body. There will be excess glucose in the filtrate.
Is SLE caused due to excess protein in the urine?
Typically excess protein is caused by lupus' effect on the kidneys; excess urine protein doesn't cause lupus.
What do plants do to excess glucose?
Respire
What happens if you consume excess protein?
If individuals consume protein in excess of the amount needed, the extra protein will not be stored as protein. It will convert to fat and stored as fat.
What can be converted to glucose if your diet is insufficient?
protein would be converted into glucose.
