What supplies fuel to the brain after fasting?
Ketones.As the fast continues and glycogen is depleted, the body finds a way to use its fat to fuel the brain. It adapts by combining acetyl CoA fragments derived from fatty acids to produce an alternative energy source, ketone bodies.
Glucose is the preferred source of energy for?
brain
Name the fuel the human body burns?

No. It can be an energy source, but it's not a fuel.
What is the three things that makes up a fire triangle?
Fuel, heat, oxygen...obviously.
What is gluconeogenisis?
Gluconeogenesis is the biosynthesis of new glucose, (i.e. not glucose from glycogen). The production of glucose from other metabolites is necessary for use as a fuel source by the brain, testes, erythrocytes and kidney medulla since glucose is the sole energy source for these organs. During starvation, however, the brain can derive energy from ketone bodies which are converted to acetyl-CoA.
What is the the main source of energy for the brain and body?
The preferred energy source for the brain is always glucose. It is also the preferred energy source for a fetus, as well as the central nervous system.
