Enzymes break down the more complex compounds into simpler forms. We know that Carbohydrates are the body's main source of energy. Carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.
I think I know where you're coming from with this.

What are the functions of ATP?
ATP, adenosine tri-phosphate, is used as the source of energy for all metabolic processes. It is the fuel upon which organisms run. It is manufactured by the oxidation of sugars or other caloric compounds.
Is glucose a source of energy for red blood cells?
Yes. Under most circumstances, glucose is the most important circulating fuel in the body.
Name the fuel the human body burns?
The preferred fuel source for the body is glucose.
How does the liver help to keep your body warm?
Liver is the major organ of metabolism. Large amount of energy is released during the metabolic activity. This heat is used to keep your body warm.
Through what process is energy transferred to a molecule that the cell can you use as fuel for its various activities?
ATP snythase. A phosphate group is bonded to ADP to create ATP. :]
Why is cellular respiration important to them?
to form atp to fuel metabolic reactions
The energy needed to fuel essential body processes is called?
Metabolism. Basic Metabolic Rate (BMR)
Energy needed to fuel the body's ongoing processes while it is at complete rest?
Basal Metabolic Rate
The fuel molecule all cells in the body can use is?
ATP, adenosine triphosphate.
The body's rate of kilocalorie consumption needed to fuel all ongoing activities is called the?
basal metabolic rate. Its not basal metabolic rate because The basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the energy the body needs to perform only its most essential activities such as breathing and maintaining resting levels of organ function. Total Metabolic Rate because The total metabolic rate (TMR) is the rate of kilocalorie consumption needed to fuel all ongoing activities (involuntary and voluntary).
What is the body's rate of kilocalorie consumption needed to fuel all ongoing activities is called?
Total Metabolic Rate
Tell about nutrients and how they are related to your body?
Protein is necessary to build muscles, cartilage and also enzymes. Carbohydrates provide quick fuel your body needs to function. Fats are a storage of energy. Protein, fats, and carbohydrates all can be used by the body as a fuel but fats provide twice as much energy by weight. Vitamins work with enzymes to perform important metabolic functions. Minerals are important as electrolytes, Iron is necessary in the blood cell's hemoglobin and Calcium is necessary for bone density and strength.
What food group is the most important as a fuel source?
Carbohydrates are the most important fuel source in your diet, except when you live on the north pole. In your body, you have fat as a most important fuel source. You have about 300 grams of carbohydrates is stored in your body and ten to twenty kilos of fat is stored there.
Why is glucose the most important fuel in your body?
It is quickly and easily metabolized.
Which nutrient molecule is the pivotal fuel molecule in oxidative pathways?
glucose
What is fuel cell hydrogen?
The fuel cell hydrogen is one of the two gasses, that are created by the seperations of a water molecule H2O. A water molecule consists of H - hydrogen, and O - oxygen. A fuel cell hydrogen is the gas created by the separation of a water molecule with the help of a fuel cell.
What is the name of the fuel the human body burns?
ATP. Short for AdenosineTriPhosphate. When the muscles burns ATP it converts it to ADP (AdenosineDiPhosphate), losing one phosphate molecule. This is molecule is restored when resting, the body combines oxygen and glucose to transform ADP to ATP again. Hope this helps :)
