Why would a doctor advise a drip of glucose than oil or fat when oil or fat contains more energy than glucose?
Cells require glucose. Glucose is delivered faster to the cells than fat or oil. In Diabetes, the person may need administration of insulin along with glucose. Insulin is like a key to "unlock" the cell's door, to transport glucose into the cell. Diabetics do not produce enough insulin, so they need pills or injections of insulin.
What else can I help you with?
What contains more energy glucose or pyruvate?
glucose
What is food energy needed for?
Food is necessary for survival because the food contains glucose, and glucose is the only source of energy for living organisms.
Does glucose have chemical energy or light energy?
Glucose contains chemical energy which is released when it is broken down during cellular respiration to produce ATP. Light energy is not stored in glucose.
What is a liquid that contains glucose?
Gatorade Contains good levels of Glucose in it. Also energy drinks contain Glucose. A lot of juices do not contain glucose. They contain fructose which is different. Gatorade I found is one of the cheapest out there.
Why need do cell glucose?
Cells need glucose as a source of energy to carry out their various functions. Glucose is broken down through cellular respiration to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell. Without glucose, cells would not be able to generate the energy needed to survive and perform essential activities.
Why do doctor keep a patient on glucose drip after operation why?
Glucose is essentially sugar water. After an operation, glucose gives your body energy to a) replace lost blood b) keep you hydrated c) give your body energy it needs to heal.
Does food give the body energy?
It contains some sort of sugar called glucose or starch. When we eat it, the glucose or starch is released. When respiration(sugar+oxygen converted into carbon dioxide+energy+water) occurs, energy is released.

The liver can supply the skeletal muscles with energy in the form of free glucose but the skeletal muscles cannot supply the liver with energy in the form of free glucose?
No. Unlike skeletal muscles, the liver contains an enzyme known as glucose 6-phosphatase that can remove the phosphate groups and produce free glucose.
What types of food are best for respiration to occur?
The kind that does not get lodged in the pharynx to asphyxiate you.
