What is During digestion excess glucose is stored in liver cells and muscle cells in what form?
Excess glucose is stored in liver cells and muscle cells in the form of glycogen. When blood glucose levels are high, insulin signals these cells to take up glucose and convert it into glycogen for storage. This glycogen can later be broken down back into glucose when energy is needed.
How do your cells obtain glucose?
Plant cells gain glucose by absorbing water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight and then through the chemical reaction photosynthesis make the glucose. Animal cells gain glucose by taking in oxygen and sugars containing the glucose made by plants.
Why do your cells need glucose?
Cells need glucose to produce energy through a process called cellular respiration. Glucose is the primary source of fuel for the body's cells, providing the necessary energy to carry out essential functions and activities. Without glucose, cells would not be able to generate the energy needed to sustain life.
Is glucose found in both plant cells and animal cells?
Plants produce glucose by a process called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis uses water, carbon dioxide, and solar energy to build up glucose, which the plant stores in the form of long chains of starch.
How does glucose enter cells in the body?
Glucose enters cells in the body through a process called facilitated diffusion, where it is transported across the cell membrane with the help of specific proteins called glucose transporters. These transporters bind to glucose molecules and facilitate their passage into the cell, allowing the cells to use glucose as a source of energy.
Where does the glucose in animal cells ocme from?
Animals get the glucose in their cells through plants. They obtain the glucose by eating the plants and absorbing their glucose and energy.
What promotes use of glucose by the cells?
It is actually glucagon hormone, which converts glycogen to glucose . researches have found that there is certain cells in the liver cells that help to convert glycogen to glucose . so as glycogen is converted yo glucose, glucagon secreted by alpha cells of pancreas this way it promotes glucose utilisation in the body cells
What does glucose supply the cell with?
Glucose is a supplier of energy to the cells. Cells use the glucose as well as fats for fuel.
Is glucose a source of energy for brain cells?
yes, glucose is the only source of energy for brain cells

What kind of cells use chlorophyll to produce glucose?
Animal cells - this is wrong answer Plant cells containing chloroplasts produce glucose by photosynthesis.
What organ does not need insulin?
Every organ is made up of many cells and each of these cells need glucose for the provision of energy. Glucose molecules cannot enter the cells however unless they are each joined with a molecule of insulin. This is why the blood glucose is raised with diabetes. No insulin, then no glucose entering the cells. Hope this helps.
What is glucose receptors?
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.
What are beta cells?
Cells located in the pancreas that produces insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose in the blood and, when glucose levels spike, cause certain cells to 'suck up' the access glucose and store it.
Why is the retina dependent on glucose?
The cells of the retina need glucose to get energy through a process called cellular respiration. Without glucose to the cells of the retina you can't see and the cells of the retina can't function.
How do we get the glucose we need to power our cell?
