What is the role of glucose in cell culture?
Glucose is an essential component and a carbohydrate source that facilitates the growth of cells.
What is the main fuel for the body's cells?
The main fuel for the body's cells is glucose. Glucose because the brain relies solely on glucose as it's source for fuel. Secondly, oxygen because of its role in cellular respiration, which also uses glucose to produce energy in the form of ATP. ATP is an abbreviation for adenosine triphosphate, and all organisms from the simplest bacteria to humans use ATP as their primary energy currency. ATP is a form of energy that the cells can use to power all their activities.. but the fuel is Glucose.
How do osmosis and villi play a role in feeding cells the glucose they need?
Osmosis occurs in the small intestines which contain the villi. There are blood vessels connected to the villi so nutrients/glucose in the small intestines diffuses through the semi-permeable membrane of the cells in the blood vessel.
Why do your cells need glucose?
cellls need glucose to get energy
How do your cells obtain glucose?
Plant cells gain glucose by absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and then through the chemical reaction photosynthesis make the glucose. Animal cells gain glucose by taking in oxygen and sugars containing the glucose made by plants.
What is the role of glucose in cell culture?

The role of insulin in the human body is to?
Trigger body cells to take up glucose.
What role do chloroplasts play during photosynthesis?
The chloroplasts take the sunlight from the sun and turn it into glucose in plant cells .
What cells in the pancreas play a role in diabetes?
Insulin...When the blood-sugar level in your body is too high, your pancreas produces more insulin which then allows the glucose to be absorbed by body cells. The glucose level will then reduce. When the Blood-sugar level is too low, your pancreas does not release insulin, which mean that less glucose is absorbed in body cells. The glucose level in the blood is therefore increased.
Where does the glucose in animal cells ocme from?
Animals get the glucose in their cells through plants. They obtain the glucose by eating the plants and absorbing their glucose and energy.
What is the Role of alcohol in the experiment of testing for starch?
starch can be broken down into glucose units by amylase enzymes. the glucose can then be fermented into alcohol by yeast cells. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fermentation_(food)

What promotes use of glucose by the cells?
It is actually glucagon hormone, which converts glycogen to glucose . researches have found that there is certain cells in the liver cells that help to convert glycogen to glucose . so as glycogen is converted yo glucose, glucagon secreted by alpha cells of pancreas this way it promotes glucose utilisation in the body cells
What does glucose supply the cell with?
Glucose is a supplier of energy to the cells. Cells use the glucose as well as fats for fuel.

Is glucose a source of energy for brain cells?
yes, glucose is the only source of energy for brain cells
Why do your cells need glucose?
