What is stored by the body as energy reserves?
Energy is stored for later use by converting it to a compound that can be stored. These are glycogen and humans and starch in plants. In humans, insulin is produced by the pancreas which converts glucose (which can't be stored) into glycogen (which can be stored) which is stored in the liver. to convert the glycogen back to glucose when energy is needed the pancreas produces glucagon, this then converts the glycogen to glucose which is ready to be used by the body for energy.
Can a human convert chemical energy to mechanical energy?
sure. why Humans convert chemical energy from food into mechanical energy when they breathe, pump blood, or move any part of their body.
Is a windmill a type of wind energy?

What cannot be formed from pyruvate in human beings?
In humans, pyruvate cannot be directly converted into glucose through a process called gluconeogenesis. This is because humans lack the specific enzymes required to convert pyruvate into glucose. Pyruvate can be converted into lactate or acetyl-CoA, which can then enter various metabolic pathways in the body.
How do humans get glucose?
Humans must eat food to acquire glucose.
What kind of polysaccharide cannot be digested by human beings?
Humans cannot break down cellulose because it contains beta glucose and the enzymes that humans have cannot break down beta glucose.
What polysaccharides do animals make?
Animals convert glucose to glycogen for longer term storage. In humans, glycogen is stored in the liver. Glycogen will be used before fat reserves are tapped.
What is a polymer of glucose and serves as a source of dietary fiber for humans?
cellulose is a polymer of glucose and serves as a source of dietary fibre for humans.
How did the soviets protect themselves geographically from an invasion?
because humans are like monkeys
Why cannot humans digest roughage?

How puffer fish are related with human?
