What else can I help you with?
Resting skeletal muscles use glucose as a preferred energy source?
Yes, resting skeletal muscles primarily rely on glucose as an energy source. Glucose is broken down in a process called glycolysis to produce ATP, which is used for various cellular functions. During rest, when energy demands are low, glucose metabolism helps to maintain cellular processes and to store energy for future use.
What is a Highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules found in liver and skeletal muscle cells?
Glycogen is a highly branched arrangement of glucose molecules found in liver and skeletal muscle cells. It serves as a storage form of glucose, which can be quickly broken down to provide energy when needed by the body.
Why does your body use more energy when active?
When we're active we're using more of our muscles including our skeletal, heart and breathing muscles. All of this muscular contraction takes energy in the form of ATP which we get by breaking down glucose.
What organ cannot store energy?
Fingernalis, toenails and hair shafts cannot store energy.
The Cori cycle involves the interconversion of?
lactate and glucose between the muscle and liver. During intense exercise, skeletal muscles produce lactate, which is sent to the liver to be converted back into glucose through gluconeogenesis. This glucose is then transported back to the muscles for energy production.
How do muscles produce energy?
muscles use chemical energy in glucose , as the bonds in glucose break, chemical energy changes to mechanical energy and the muscle contracts.. well there you go that how you produce mechanical energy :)
Does glucose build muscles?
no, because glucose is a form of sugar, and sugar is energy, and energy is pretty much fat.
Why does blood carry glucose?
glucose gives us energy, the blood carries the glucose to our muscles so they can move
What do your skeletal muscles do?
1. turn energy into motion.2. express an idea
When does glycogenesis occur?
Glycogenesis occurs when glucose levels in the blood are high, such as after a meal. During this process, excess glucose is converted into glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles for later use as an energy source.
What is the chemical energy in muscles?
the chemical is glucose.
What molecule do mammals use to store extra glucose in their muscles?
Mammals store extra glucose as glycogen in their muscles. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a readily available energy source that can be quickly broken down into glucose when needed for energy.
