Insulin helps regulate blood glucose levels by promoting the uptake of glucose into cells. Once inside the cells, glucose can be used in cellular respiration to produce energy in the form of ATP. Insulin also helps in the storage of excess glucose as glycogen in the liver and muscle cells.

how would glucose shortage be affected by cellular respiration?

Insulin is a hormone that is central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver,muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle. Insulin stops the use of fat as an energy source by inhibiting the release of glucagon. When insulin is absent, glucose is not taken up by body cells and the body begins to use fat as an energy source or gluconeogenesis; for example, by transfer of lipids fromadipose tissue to the liver for mobilization as an energy source. As its level is a central metabolic control mechanism, its status is also used as a control signal to other body systems (such as amino acid uptake by body cells). In addition, it has several otheranabolic effects throughout the body.
