The prefix "activated" usually means condensation of a sugar molecule like glucose with a nucleotide. Examples are uridine-5'-diphosphate (UDP) for activation of glucose, galactose or N-acetylglucosamine, guanosine-5'-diphosphate (GDP) for mannose or fucose and cytidine-5'-monophophate (CMP) for sialic acid.
Activation of sugars helps in biochemical transfer of sugar molecules to certain structure, e. g. N-glycans.

Why is glucose important for and animal?
Glucose is processed in animals' bodies to create energy to survive.
Where is glycogen stored in animals?
In liver tissue
Do animals use chlorophyll to produce glucose?
No, it's an exclusive attribute of plants. Plants contain chlorophyll (it's what makes them green), which through the process of photosynthesis produces glucose. Animals get glucose from plants.
What organ produces glucose?
Most, if not all, organisms can produce glucose. Humans and other animals can produce glucose when necessary from other carbohydrates and intermediates (such as glycogen, lactate and pyruvate). This requires, at some point, consumption of autotrophs, to provide the energy and carbon required to produce glucose. Autotrophs can produce glucose (directly or indirectly) from inorganic molecules (i.e., not from eating other organisms). Photosynthetic organisms (photoautotrophs) are autotrophs that specifically produce glucose from light energy. This includes plants, algae and some bacteria (e.g. cyanobacteria).
What is the main form of cabohydrate storage in animals?
Starch No, Starch is how plants store glucose. The human body stores glucose as glycogen.
Why is glucose activated in glycolysis?

What are the drugs an emt basic in North Carolina can give?
* Albuterol (Proventil) * Activated Charcoal * Aspirin * Oxygen * Epinephrine * Nitroglycerin * Oral Glucose
How does thiazolidione work?
Thiazolidinediones work by activating peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) in the cell nucleus, which helps regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. By activating PPAR-gamma, thiazolidinediones help improve insulin sensitivity, decrease glucose production in the liver, and increase glucose uptake in muscle and fat cells. This ultimately leads to lower blood glucose levels and improved control of diabetes.
What are the products in the chemical equation for photosynthesis 6co2 6H2O?
It's the reverse of a combustion reaction. 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Note it produces glucose (a hydrocarbon) and oxygen when activated by LIGHT.
Is you card activated?
yes you card is activated
Can a emt basic handle drugs?
Yes EMT's can handle basic drugs, Medical Direction still needs to be contacted but drugs such as : Oral glucose, Nitrogen, Aspiran, Activated Charcoal, Assist with Inhalers,Nebulizers...
What does uv activated mean?
activated by ultraviolet light
What is the carbohydrate that is found in abundance in mammalian blood?
Glucose
