What is the chemical substance formed in the anaerobic respiration in muscles?
glycolsys
Why does extra glucose and oxygen let muscles pull harder?
The reaction of glucose with oxygen, which is equivalent to burning, but slower, releases energy which drives every other chemical reaction of the body, including those which cause muscle fibers to contract.
Excess glucose is converted to another type of sugar called what?
glucose is converted into a sugar called sucrose Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in your muscles and liver. It is released as needed between meals.
What molecules do muscles get most of their energy from?
ATP. And they got ATP from e.g. phosphoenolpyruvate, from glucose.
Where might you find glucose?
It is found in the bloodstream and stored in your liver and muscles in the form of glycogen.
What is the chemical substance involved exercising?
Glucose is the "fuel" for muscles.
What is the chemical energy in muscles?
the chemical is glucose.
How do muscles produce energy?
muscles use chemical energy in glucose , as the bonds in glucose break, chemical energy changes to mechanical energy and the muscle contracts.. well there you go that how you produce mechanical energy :)
What is the chemical substance formed in the anaerobic respiration in muscles?
glycolsys
What is the maening of respiration?
it converts energy in food into a more usable form
Resting skeletal muscles use glucose as a preferred energy source?
Resting skeletal muscles burn glucose for energy. Although fat can also be used as an energy source, if glucose is present, muscles will use glucose first.
Where is glucogen stored?
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
How do muscles use mechanical energy?
muscles use chemical energy in glucose , as the bonds in glucose break, chemical energy changes to mechanical energy and the muscle contracts.. well there you go that how you produce mechanical energy :)
What molecule do mammals use to store extra glucose in their muscles?
Glycogen is the molecule used to store extra glucose into a MAMMAL'S muscles.
The liver can supply the skeletal muscles with energy in the form of free glucose but the skeletal muscles cannot supply the liver with energy in the form of free glucose?
No. Unlike skeletal muscles, the liver contains an enzyme known as glucose 6-phosphatase that can remove the phosphate groups and produce free glucose.
What does insulin convert glucose to in the muscles?
Insulin is secreted from the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas in order to convert glucose into glycogen for use by our muscles. This process actually takes place in the liver, not the muscles.
Why does blood carry glucose?
glucose gives us energy, the blood carries the glucose to our muscles so they can move
