How much energy is relased from glucolse?
The energy stored in glucose is approximately 16 kJ/gramm.
What is your body main source of energy?
It is glucose. In response to the rise in blood-glucose levels (say) after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin which breaks down the glucose and carries it to cells that need extra energy.The glucose enters the cell by special molecules in the membrane called "glucose transporters". The cells that need glucose have specific insulin receptors on their surface so that insulin can bind to them, encouraging glucose entry and utilization in the cells.Once inside your cells, the glucose is burned to produce heat and adenosine triphosyphate, (ATP) a molecule that stores and releases energy as required by the cell.The metabolism of glucose into energy may occur either in combination with oxygen (aerobic metabolism) or without it (anaerobic metabolism). The oxygen used comes from the mitochondria - tiny bodies inside the cell. However, red blood cells do not have mitochondria, so they change glucose into energy without the use of oxygen.Glucose is also converted to energy in muscle cells - who are probably the most important energy "customers". These muscle cells do contain mitochondria so they can process glucose with oxygen. But even if oxygen-levels in the muscle-cell mitochondria fall too low, the cells can proceed to convert glucose into energy without oxygen. Unfortunately, turning glucose into energy without oxygen produces the by-product lactic acid. And too much lactic acid makes your muscles ache.
How and where is nuclear energy stored?
Nuclear energy appears as heat, and it is not practicable to store this heat, it has to be used to produce electricity. You could regard the new nuclear fuel as a store, the nuclear energy is there, just waiting to be released, and it would be practicable to stockpile fuel to be used if supplies of uranium were interrupted for some reason. I am not sure how much fuel is in fact stockpiled by the power companies that own power plants, but it would be possible for the federal government to pay to store more, if they wanted to.
How much does a 5 hour energy shot cost?
2 or 3 dollars depending on store. Easily stolen or drink it in the store and leave
Why is glucose the main source of energy for the brain?
The glucose helps the brain function properly like help a person study focused, keeps the body in balance, and helps keep all the stuff a student learns in school. Just make sure that you don't eat to much carbohydrates to overweigth the body though.
Glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as a large polysaccharide called?
Glycogen. Plants store energy in starch.... Mammals store their excess energy in glycogen.
How do animals store glucose?
Most animals store glucose as glycogen in liver and muscles .
What class of organic molecule is used as an immediate energy source for most organisms?
They are the lipids. Lipids can store much energy
Which molecule ATP or glucose stores more energy?
A glucose molecule can store much more energy than a molecule of ATP. Through cellular respiration, the energy stored in glucose is transferred to ATP molecules. ATP molecules then travel to the locations in the cell that need the energy.
What chemical form do onions store their energy?
Onions store energy in their bulb in the form of carbohydrates. The carbohydrates are stored as soluble fiber and glucose. Onions also have some starch, but not nearly as much as tuberous vegetables.
Fermentation is not as energy productive as respiration because?
pyruvate is more reduced than CO2; it still contains much of the energy from glucose
Why is glucose your bodies single most important source of energy?
Glucose is very important source. This is because, your brain can use glucose only as a source of energy. Rest of the body can manage without the glucose. Fortunately you get much more glucose from your food than required by your body. Glucose being the primary product of photosynthesis.
Does glucose build muscles?
no, because glucose is a form of sugar, and sugar is energy, and energy is pretty much fat.
Is carbon dioxide stored in plants and animals?
There are two very basic reactions that can be said to support life on this earth. One is photosynthesis, which happens in plants. In photosynthesis, plants absorb carbon dioxide and water and convert it to glucose and oxygen. Overall, photosynthesis requires energy, gathered from sunlight. This energy essentially winds up stored in the glucose. Usually, the glucose will wind up being stored in more complex sugars and starches. The other reaction is respiration, which releases the energy from glucose. This reaction requires oxygen, and releases carbon dioxide and water. Plants and animals use this reaction to provide the energy that they need. So, anything that stores glucose or its more complex forms does store carbon. However, animals take in glucose and break it down, thus releasing carbon dioxide, while plants tend to absorb much more carbon dioxide than they release. Thus, both plants and animals do store carbon, but only plants will actually absorb carbon dioxide and store that carbon.
Carbohydratyes store more energy in bonds between its atoms than lipids?
No. Long chains of hydrocarbons, basically what lipids are, store much more energy in the bonds than carbohydrates do.
What has more energy ATP or sugar?
One molecule of glucose yields ~ 38 ATP, so sugar has much more energy tied up in its bonds than one ATP.
Does bread and pasta raise LDL cholesterol?
Yes, they can depending on how much you eat. There's a lot of factors here, but bread and pasta (even whole grain) essentially end up as glucose in your blood stream. If you're taking in more glucose than you are using, your liver will produce LDL to help store the excess energy as fat. Thus, the more sugar you eat, the more LDL will likely be produced to store it. Dr. G
