The conversion of lactate to glucose (see gluconeogenesis ) takes place almost exclusively in the liver, but lactate can be metabolized by the kidney and nervous tissue as well.

Which organs contain glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme?
The liver.
Why are organs capable of more complicated functions than tissues?
I Personally think that organs are capable of more complicated tasks because the tissues are all making up the organ so that it can Cary out that function.
What organs are damaged if blood glucose levels are not controlled?
the eyes, blood vessels, kidneys, and nerves
Most of the carbon dioxide that is made during aerobic respiration is from?
It is from glucose, that is used up by the cells of muscles and organs. C6H12O6(glucose) + 6 O2(oxygen) → 6 CO2(carbon dioxide) + 6 H2O(water)
How do organs use oxygen?
Organs are a collection of tissues, which are in turn a collection of cells. Cells produce ATP from glucose and this processes (glycolysis and then krebs' cycle) require O2 to help form CO2 to release energy from the carbon-carbon chain. Watch a video on how the kreb's cycle work and watch for the oxygen that is inserted in the system.
What is the major monosaccharide in our body?
Glucose, usually stored in the liver and muscle cells as glycogen.
Which organs contain glucose-6-phosphatase enzyme?
The liver.
Glucagon prompts what organs to convert glycogen to glucose?
liver

What organs are damaged if the glucose level in the blood gets too high?
lungs
What can glucose that isn't used by the plant be stored as?
Glucose is stored as a type of starch in seeds. Some plants also store it in specialized organs inside of the plant.
What organ continues to burn glucose while other organs switch to fatty acids?
It is our BRAIN!! It is the only organ which derives all its energy by glucose metabolism.
Is a glucose an organ?
No. Glucose is a sugar molecule, infinitely smaller than an organ. Cells make up tissues, tissues make up organs. Glucose is found inside of cells and functions as a source of energy.
Why do girls have the baby?
because men do not have the reproductive organs capable of bearing the child. beyond that, i have no idea why
Why would you have sore breasts and produce milk if you had your tubes clamped 6 months ago?
milk production is homorne based. You could have your reproductive organs removed and still be able to lactate.
Are there any insulin independent tissues or organs?
Yes, there are insulin-independent tissues or organs in the body. Examples include the brain, liver, and kidney. These organs can uptake and utilize glucose without the presence of insulin. However, insulin is still important for regulating glucose levels in the body and its absence or dysfunction can lead to complications such as diabetes.
What organs are damaged if blood glucose levels are not controlled?
the eyes, blood vessels, kidneys, and nerves
