absorption of glucose from the GI tract
The preferred fuel source for the body is glucose.
Resting skeletal muscles burn glucose for energy. Although fat can also be used as an energy source, if glucose is present, muscles will use glucose first.
brain
In the human diet, the main source of energy is carbohydrates. In order to be used, carbohydrates are broken down into glucose that is used during respiration to produce energy.
In its form, glucose is ready for absorption into the blood stream. As such, it is the most preferred source of energy in body cells.
Energy source, you release glucose during respiration
glucose
Glucose is the simple sugar that is the primary source of energy used by our bodies during metabolism.
During the process of glycolysis, glucose is turned into two molecules of pyruvic acid. Glucose is a sugar that is an energy source important to living organisms.
Glucose is a source of energy.
the majoe two sources are from the diet and during fasting states by gluconeogenesis
Glucose is a sugar, so yes it is a source of energy.
Gluconeogenesis is the biosynthesis of new glucose, (i.e. not glucose from glycogen). The production of glucose from other metabolites is necessary for use as a fuel source by the brain, testes, erythrocytes and kidney medulla since glucose is the sole energy source for these organs. During starvation, however, the brain can derive energy from ketone bodies which are converted to acetyl-CoA.
yes, glucose is the only source of energy for brain cells
gluconeogenesis
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.
Glucose. It is absorbed directly into the bloodstream during digestion and a vital carbohydrate as it is a source of energy.
