The body needs to store glucose as a polysaccharide because if it is store as single molecules of glucose (non-phosphorylated), it will leave the cells and be sent out of the body via kidneys. So the cell can either store glucose as Glucose-6-phosphate or polysaccharide. If G6P is stored inside cells, it will readily be degraded via the glycolysis pathway. So putting it in a polysaccharide prevents 1.) removal from body and 2.) rapid metabolism of glucose.
All Cells are capable of performing this standard biochemical process.
Glucose is 'put into storage' [in Cells] in the form of glycogen. Glycogen consists of glucose monomers and is used for the concentrated storage and quick release of glucose.
gluconeogenesis or glucogenesis same thing.
they need it so they can give you energy
To build and repair cell wall :)
In the process of glycogenesis.
cellls need glucose to get energy
Your cells get oxygen and glucose through protein channels located on their cell membrane the phospholipid bilayer surrounding a cell.
Plants produce glucose by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy to build up glucose, which the plant stores in the form of long chains of starch.
Red blood cells don't have mitochondria, so their only energy option is glycolysis.
Glucose is an essential component and a carbohydrate source that facilitates the growth of cells.
cellls need glucose to get energy
How do we get the glucose we need to power our cells?
Glucose provide the energy the cells need to work.
Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.
Glucose is the sugar that the mitochronia need to produce energy for the cells.
The cells of the retina need glucose to get energy through a process called cellular respiration. Without glucose to the cells of the retina you can't see and the cells of the retina can't function.

It is carried in the blood.
Plants need energy from the sun for food, they do this through photosynthesis which is the cells of the leaves (palisade cells, and inside those, chloroplasts), gathering the suns energy and changing it into glucose. the plant can then use this glucose for food. :)
