In order to run or even live you need for your body to create energy in the form of ATP (adenosine tri-phosphate) by a process called cell respiration. Glucose is needed in this process. We get our glucose through the foods we eat (glucose=sugar).

What materials do mitochondria consume?
Glucose is the fuel. Oxygen is also needed
Why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly if oxygen is present than absent?
why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly when oxygen is present than when oxygen is absent
What chemical substance do yeast consume?
Yeast uses sugar in respiration.Glucose is the primary substrate.This is oxidized during respiration
How are we dependent on plants?
Plants make oxygen and energy(glucose) which we consume when we eat plants or animals that ate plants.
What and how do organisms use sunlight energy trapped in plants?
This energy is stored in glucose. Plants synthesize many things using glucose energy. Other organisms consume plants basically
Why you consume starch rather than glucose?
Starch is made up by glucose.We consume plant products.Plant store glucose as starch.
What materials do mitochondria consume?
Glucose is the fuel. Oxygen is also needed
Is glucose found in animals or plants?
Glucose is found in both plants and animals. Plants produce glucose by photosynthesis, and animals consume glucose (it is the first reactant for cellular respiration).
Why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly if oxygen is present than absent?
why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly when oxygen is present than when oxygen is absent
What is carbohydrates known as in the body?
All forms of carbohydrate that you consume get converted into glucose. Glucose is the only carbohydrate that is usable to the human body.
What chemical substance do yeast consume?
Yeast uses sugar in respiration.Glucose is the primary substrate.This is oxidized during respiration
Is carbo-loading useful to long distance runners?
Yes. The carbs convert to glucose which gives the runner energy.
How many grams of glucose does the human consume per day under normal conditions?
The brain consumes around 120g of glucose per day.
Does honey cause diabet?
There is no proof that honey causes Diabetes. Honey is not made up of glucose. So it does not affect the blood glucose level directly. But it is wise precaution, not to consume excessive amount of honey, routinely.
Is maltodextrin dafe to consume?
Yes, it is a common food additive and is easily processed into glucose by the digestive system.
Do plants consume or produce food?
They produce food (Glucose) but then they use most of it to respire and get energy to survive.The Glucose which is the food is stores as starch if it is not used as starch is not soluble in water.
How are we dependent on plants?
Plants make oxygen and energy(glucose) which we consume when we eat plants or animals that ate plants.
