A substance that provides a form of energy?
sugar provides energy for the body.
What if your body converts chemical energy to all of the following EXCEPT?
Nuclear energy is the only energy that the human body does not produce.
What is a simple definition of glucose?
Glucose is a simple sugar and it's the main source of energy of our body's cells. If you want to find more information about it you can visit a website called WebMD.
Why do the cells in your body never use nucleic acids as an energy source?
according to my calculations, the cells use carbohydrates as an energy source, and that is enough for the body nucleic acids are used for our genetic makeup and not for our energy usage
Is sugar abrasive?
Yes, sugar is abrasive. It is slightly more abrasive than baking soda. Sugar is often used in body scrubs to exfoliate dead skin cells.
Where inside plants does the body break down sugar to produce energy?
In plant cells, sugar is broken down to produce energy in the mitochondria, just as in animal cells.
Which characteristic of body cells require large amounts of energy?
Cellular Respiration. Your cells need energy in the form of glucose to produce ATP (usable energy)
What cells in your body can produce energy with out oxygen?
cool
Why do body cells need sugar?
it gives us energy
What are examples of chemical energy transformed into muscular energy?
It is the sugar or fat in your body that your muscle cells use to make energy. Thus, it depends ultimately on your sugar.
What does unused sugar turn into in your body?
Unused Sugar/Energy (glucose) is stored in fat cells, which are burnt off when the energy within them is needed.
Describe how you not get energy directly from the food that you eat?
When you consume food, your body breaks it down into sugar. Your body uses the sugar as energy for the cells. Some foods break down into sugar faster than others.
What will happen if you stop taking insulin?
If you stop taking insulin, your body will not be able to transport glucose(sugar) into your cells. Glucose is the chief energy source for all the body's cells. Your blood sugar level will increase, and your cells will essentially begin to starve for lack of an energy source.
How do your cells get energy from food you eat?
So your body breaks down your food into glucose(a sugar)
How do cells obtain energy?
Green plant cells change light energy into chemical energy.
What must a human body do to get energy from food?
What must the human body need to get energy from food is to use oxygen to produce ATP which will fuel the cells.
What happens to cells when you eat a lot of sugar?
Your body likes to maintain a specific level of sugar based on your activity level. Any sudden increase requires a shot of insulin to correct the spike. If your body fails to produce this insulin on it's own (diabetes), artificial insulin is required. Your body burns sugar for energy. When there's a surplus of energy in the body, everything goes haywire. Your fat cells can only accept so much of the excess and then things go wrong. You get hyper and hot at best or go into shock at worst.
