When you exercise, your body uses stored carbohydrates (glycogen) first for quick energy before tapping into stored fats for fuel.

Does anaerobic exercise require body use in extra oxygen?

No, anaerobic exercise does not require the body to use extra oxygen. Anaerobic exercise relies on stored energy sources in the muscles, such as glycogen, for fuel without the need for oxygen.


What does the fuel for muscles comes from?

The primary fuel source for muscles during exercise is glucose, which is derived from carbohydrates in the diet. Once stored glucose is depleted, the body can also use stored fat for energy through a process called lipolysis. Additionally, during prolonged exercise, muscles can rely on protein breakdown for energy.


What do all muscles have a store, of which used for fuel?

Glucose can be used immediately as fuel, or can be sent to the liver and muscles and stored as glycogen. During exercise, muscle glycogen is converted back into glucose, which only the muscle fibers can use as fuel.

How would an animal release their extra stored sugar?

Extra sugar is stored as glycogen in animals. Some glycogen is stored in muscles, if they need fuel they can use the glycogen available locally. When glycogen needs to be converted back to glucose for fuel, a series of enzymes work together to complete the task.


How is tidal energy stored and utilized for future use?

Tidal energy is stored by converting it into electricity through tidal power plants. This electricity can be used immediately or stored in batteries for future use. Tidal energy can also be used to generate hydrogen through electrolysis, which can be stored and used as a fuel source.


Does the space shuttle use the liquid or solid?

The SRBs (Solid Rocket Boosters) use solid fuel. The 3 main engines and the OMS (Orbital Maneuvering System) use liquid fuel stored in the External Tank.


What kind of energy does a plane use?

A plane primarily uses chemical energy stored in jet fuel to power its engines by burning the fuel and converting it to mechanical energy for propulsion. In addition, some planes may also use electricity stored in batteries for auxiliary systems and electric propulsion.
