When the demand for energy is low, animals convert glucose to glycogen to fat. Glucose is sometimes referred to as grape sugar or D-glucose.

How Transformation of low energy reactants into high energy products?

During a chemical reaction, energy is either absorbed or released. In an endothermic reaction, energy is absorbed to convert low-energy reactants into high-energy products. In an exothermic reaction, energy is released as high-energy reactants are transformed into low-energy products.


Why confirmation of ethane can not be isolated?

Because they inter-convert very fast as the energy is low.


Why do plants need chloroplast and the animal cells don't need it?

Plants need chlorophyll because that is what allows them to convert sunlight to energy they can use in their metabolism. People do not use chlorophyll, and so don't have it, because as animals we do not convert sunlight directly to energy. We eat plants, or other animals that eat plants, and use their energy.


How do we store extra energy?

Extra energy can be stored in batteries, pumped hydro storage systems, compressed air energy storage, thermal energy storage, and through the use of flywheels or capacitors. These energy storage technologies allow excess energy generated during periods of low demand to be stored for use when demand is high.


Will a cashier be in high demand or low demand?

it will be in high demand


Is there a high or low demand for a graphic designer?

Low. Low Demand + High Competition + Low Salary = Do something else in life.


Can energy be destoyed?

No. However, you can (and will) convert high-value energy to low-value energy. In other words, energy gets "used up" in the sense that it gets converted into a form that is no longer useful.


What is glycogen used for energy storage by?

Glycogen is a multibranched polysaccharide that serves as a form of energy storage in animals and fungi. In humans, glycogen is made and stored primarily in the cells of the liver and the muscles, and functions as the secondary long-term energy storage (with the primary energy stores being fats held in adipose tissue).


How does the body respond when energy levels become too low?

When the level of blood glucose is low, thenglucagonis secreted from the pancreas, and the cells convert glycogen back into glucose.


What do solar cells convert light into?

Solar cells convert light energy into electrical energy through a process called the photovoltaic effect. This occurs when photons from sunlight strike the solar cell and generate an electric current by knocking free electrons within the cell's material.


What is a demand response system I always hear about businesses needing to save energy by having them but what does demand response do...?

From wikipedia: Demand response is generally used to refer to mechanisms used to encourage consumers to reduce demand, thereby reducing the peak demand for electricity. Since electrical systems are generally sized to correspond to peak demand (plus margin for error and unforeseen events), lowering peak demand reduces overall plant and capital cost requirements. Depending on the configuration of generation capacity, however, demand response may also be used to increase demand (load) at times of high production and low demand. Some systems may thereby encourage energy storage to arbitrage between periods of low and high demand (or low and high prices). As the proportion of intermittent power sources such as wind power in a system grows, demand response may become increasingly important to effective management of the electric grid.
