What else can I help you with?
Is the breakdown of glucose endothermic or exothermic?
Exothermic. Glucose is one of the major source of energy of the body and can only act as an energy source because its breakdown into CO2 is an exothermic reaction.
What are the Main functions of simple carbohydrates in living things?
1. Energy source for plants and animals 2. Source of carbon in metabolic processes 3. Storage form of energy 4. Structural elements of cells and tissues. 5. Storage
What organ stores energy in the body and releases nutrients into the blood when needed?
Fat cells.
How is energy captured and stored?
The process of cellular respiration is what makes energy. ATP is made during this process, ATP is the main source of energy in the body. Energy isn't really stored in the body, it is just made when needed.
What do we call the chemical that cells need to work and reproduce?

How nutrients are used by cells?
Nutrients are used by the body's cells as a source of energy
Why does your body cells run out of energy?
Everything will run out of energy without an energy source.
Why is the important to the body?
its to give the body energy its the main source of energy in cells in humans and mainly animals
What nutrient is the preferred energy source for the body?
Carbohydrates are the preferred energy source for the body, as they are broken down into glucose which is readily used by cells for energy production.
Describe how nutrients are used by cells?
Nutrients are used by the body's cells as a source of energy
Are the body's primary and immediate source of energy?

Why does the body need carborhydrates?
carborhydrate are a major source of quick energy for the body
What is our body's first source of energy?
Our body's first source of energy is carbohydrates. When we eat carbohydrates, our body breaks them down into glucose, which is used as fuel to power our cells and organs.
What is the physiological function of carbohydrates?
The major function of carbohydrates are to supply energy to the cells in the body. The body uses fat and carbohydrate as a source of energy because fat is lost very rapidly if instructions are followed.
