What is the major monosaccharide in our body?
Glucose, usually stored in the liver and muscle cells as glycogen.
How many possible isomers of glucose exist and what are some examples?
Your question is not specific enough - what do you mean by isomer? If you mean stereoisomers (likely question with biomolecules) the two most common stereoisomers of glucose are L-glucose and D-glucose. There are 4 chiral carbons in glucose so there would be 42 or 16 possible stereoisomers. The other most important stereoisomers would be mannose and galactose.
Glucose is the most common monosaccharide.what is most used for living things?
Glucose is the most common monosaccharide found.
The most important regulator of the amount of sodium in the body is the?
kidney
3 factors that are important when choosing a fuel for a car?
Three factors that are important to consider when choosing a fuel for a car are the following: Economy, Running costs, and Driving preferences.
Is glucose a source of energy for red blood cells?
Yes. Under most circumstances, glucose is the most important circulating fuel in the body.
What is the most important metabolic fuel molecule in the body?
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 is the most important sugar in our body?
I belive it's Glucose
What is one of the most important sugars in the human body?
Glucose
What is the major monosaccharide in our body?
Glucose, usually stored in the liver and muscle cells as glycogen.
Why is glucose your bodies single most important source of energy?
Glucose is very important source. This is because, your brain can use glucose only as a source of energy. Rest of the body can manage without the glucose. Fortunately you get much more glucose from your food than required by your body. Glucose being the primary product of photosynthesis.
Preferred fuel for most body functions?
There is some debate as to whether carbohydrates or fats are the body's preferred fuel. However, the body will burn carbohydrates in the form of glucose before it burns fat.
What organ in the human body is most responsible for regulating blood glucose areas?
Liver,Pancrease and Kidneys are very important in glucose regulation.
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.
What is the most preferred fuel used by the body?
Carbohydrates (specifically glucose) are the preferred fuel for the human body due to the metabolic pathways used to produce ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate). The body produces ATP by both glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation and the starting point for this production cycle is glucose. However, both protein and fat can be converted into glucose should carbohydrates be temporarily unavailable. However, in the case of fat, too much oxidation of fat into glucose can cause ketoacidosis.
What is the body's most readily available fuel supply?
The tiny power plants of the cell need a ready supply of glucose to function. Other carbohydrates are broken down into glucose.
What is the most common carbohydrate fuel?
Glucose
