Your blood sugar should be between 80 and 120mg/DL.

Your body will convert glucose first from carbohydrates, and if you deplete your glycogen storage (stored glucose) it will then go through a process called gluconeogenesis, in which it converts proteins to glucose for energy (including your muscle tissue).

The actual amount of glucose you need will depend on a variety of things such as your height, weight, sex, and physical activity.

What simple carbohydrate is present in the blood?

Glucose is the simple carbohydrate present in the blood. It serves as the primary source of energy for the body's cells.


What happens if you have too much glucose in your body?

Having too much glucose in your body can lead to health problems like diabetes. High levels of glucose can damage organs and blood vessels, causing complications such as heart disease, kidney damage, and nerve damage. It is important to maintain a balanced level of glucose in the body to prevent these issues.


What type of carbohydrate is present in blood and circulates throughout the body?

There are many different kinds but possibly the most well known would be glucose, or more commonly known as sugar (C6H12O6)


How is glucose finally eliminated from the body?

Glucose is generally not excreted from the body, it can be stored as gyclogen, latter broken down for energy. In which glucose is broken down into pyruvate then into glycolosis for processing Excess glucose can be in the urine if you are diabetic. Glucose can be stored in your liver and in your muscles in the form of glycogen and then released as the cells need glucose for respiration. Glycolysis is the process whereby glucose is cut into two molecules of pyruvate. If oxygen is present, pyruvate will enter the mitochondria and chemical bonds in pyruate will be broken to release energy that will be stored in ATP


What is the main storage form of glucose in the body?

The main storage form of glucose in the body is glycogen.

Why do yeast cells consume glucose much more slowly if oxygen is present than absent?

When oxygen is present, yeast cells undergo aerobic respiration, which is a more efficient process that yields more ATP per glucose molecule. This results in a slower consumption rate of glucose compared to anaerobic respiration where glucose is broken down more quickly in the absence of oxygen to produce energy.


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.

Do you use glucose in the from of glucose?

Yes, your body uses glucose in the form of glucose. All other sugars are converted into glucose so your body can use them.
