Carbohydrates (aka, "sugar") provide caloric energy for our bodies in the same way that gasoline provides "energy" for an automobile. Certain organs, such as the brain, literally require carbohydrates in order to function properly. (In the absence of adequate sugar, the brain will run on ketone bodies- products of incomplete fat metabolism.)
Sugar is very important for the body as it provides energy for you.But if sugar intake is too high,it might cause some diseases or you might become hyperactive (unable to sleep,movements increased in speed).
Carbohydrates are metabolized to intermediates of glycolysis. Glycolysis is a vital metabolic pathway because it is capable of producing energy (ATP) in the absence of oxygen. This is one important reason why we cannot rely solely on liquids. Also, erythrocytes and some neuronal tissues specifically required glucose for energy production.
Glucose is a monosaccharide or simple sugar, the most common of the naturally occurring sugars. Glucose is a white or colorless, odorless and sweet-tasting substance that is soluble in water. It is 75% as sweet as cane sugar. Glucose can be either in crystalline or powder form.
Glucose is one of the main energy sources for living organisms, both in plants and animals.Glucose is also the primary source of energy for the brain, when glucose is low, psychological processes requiring mental effort is impaired.
When the intake of glucose and other carbohydrates exceeds the amounts immediately required for body activities, the excess is stored as glycogen in the liver and as fat in the fatty tissues. The average adult has 5-6 grams of glucose in the blood (about 1 teaspoon), which will supply the body's energy needs for only about 15 minutes, after that the levels must be replenished from compounds stored in the liver.
Sources of Glucose: Ripe fruits, nectar of flowers, leaves, sap and blood. Various names have been given to these sources of glucose; starch sugar, blood sugar, grape sugar and corn sugar.
Glucose in Diabetic: The insulin regulate the concentration of glucose in the blood, a high blood sugar level is an indication of prediabetic and diabetic conditions. Glucose appears in the urine only when the level of glucose in the blood is much above normal limits, this may occur in Diabetes.
Glucose in Normal and Healthy people: In normal individuals, even on high carbohydrate diet, glucose oxidation and conversion to glycogen and fat take place so rapidly that the blood glucose level never rises enough to produce sugar in the urine. But in normal individuals, glucose is found in the urine even when the blood level is normal.
Other Uses of Glucose:
yeah, if you want to survive. everyone needs a certain amount of sugar in their system, just like all the other stuff like calories and iron and whatnot
Casue It Feels Good :P Bahahaha.... Just kidding u need it to stay alive!!
Because when they are assimilated are the source of instant energy inside the body.
Glucose is basic source of energy for body .During respiration it yields ATP which is energy currency of cell .It also provides structural material to cells .
it gives us energy
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).
There is no nitrogen in glucose.
Glucose is the fuel. Oxygen is also needed
The body mostly needs fats which are used to produce energy. The body also needs water which is used for cooling and other important functions.
Yes
Glucose
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. Excess glucose in circulation is normally polymerized within the liver and muscles as glycogen, which is hydrolyzed to glucose as needed.
Glucose is stored in the body as glycogen. It is stored in the liver and in muscle tissue until it is needed, then the hormone glucagon - 'turns-the-sugar-on'- and releases the glycogen as glucose into the bloodstream.
the answer is urea and glucose
stored primarily in the liver and broken down into glucose when needed by the body
IntestinesCORRECTION:Muscles contain the most glycogen-- the storage form of glucose-- in the body. The liver comes next.
basically the same as carbohydrates. they are needed in the body for energy. they are digested by carbohydrase into glucose into the blood.
The body uses carbohydrates by converting them into glucose as storage. The glucose is released as fuel for the body's cells to generate adrenaline-related energy bursts when needed. The access to this glucose and glycogen is dependent on how many carbohydrates are consumed.
The body's blood cells cannot absorb the sugar/glucose needed to give energy.
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).
The preferred fuel source for the body is glucose.
Yes, your body uses glucose in the form of glucose. All other sugars are converted into glucose so your body can use them.
