Glycogen to glucose?
Glycogen is a storage of energy within the body, and glucose is the primary form of energy. So for example, if your body requires glucose to survive, when it has plentiful amounts. Your body converts glucose into glycogen for storage. However, if your body has low amount of glucose within it. Your body will rely on the storage of glycogen to break down into its components and use the glucose for fuel.
Fuel cells rely primarily on what element for their energy source?
hydrogen
What does fractional distillation rely on?
Fractional distillation rely on differences between boiling points of liquids.
How does the the process of convection rely on conduction?
The air directly above the Earth's surface is heated by conduction. Warm air is then circulated through the atmosphere by convection currents.
What is the term for something that is not an acid or a base?
dont look at me im i the only one you rely on
Conditioned muscles rely less on what and more on what for energy?
less glycogen and more fat for energy
Red blood cells and the brain rely on what for energy?
They rely on glucose for energy.

What cells use almost exclusively carbohydrates for energy?
The red blood cells in the body completely rely on glucose, which is a carbohydrate, for energy. Adipose tissue and muscles cells partially rely on glucose as well.
Which organ requires glucose as its primary fuel?
All metabolic functions in the body require ATP to proceed. ATP is the energy currency of the cell; all other energy sources must first be converted to ATP before they are able to yield energy. All organs can convert glucose to ATP for use as energy, except for the brain. The brain is the only organ that cannot use other energy sources for fuel (fats, proteins, fructose, glycogen, etc). ONE EXCEPTION: is that the brain can run on ketones during starvation. My degree is in Kinesiology, not physiology, and I'm answering this off the top of my head, so use this answer for informational purposes only. Marcus Just to add a little; fatty acids cannot pass the blood brain barrier, so only glucose can be used by the brain. Red blood cells don't have a mitochondria, so they also rely solely on glucose. The kidney medulla, lens of the eye, and tests have very little mitochondria, so they depend almost entirely on glucose.
What industries rely on biomass?
Fuel companies rely on this energy source to power things up. Automotive industries also rely on thin energy source(biomass).
Space satellites rely on this type of energy?
Solar energy
Do you rely on the suns energy?
11
What energy sources does Canada mostly rely on to produce energy?
water
What is the principle source of energy for brain cells?
The human body primarily uses glucose, a type of simple sugar, for energy. We convert the energy stored in glucose into a molecule called ATP which is what powers most of our cellular activity.
Is there anything on earth that does not rely on the sun?
All living things rely, ultimately, on the sun's energy.
Does the brain rely on an another part of the body?
Yes--the heart. The blood pumped from the heart provides the brain with vital oxygen.
