Glucose goes from the body to the blood. When carbohydrates are consumed, they are catabolised to mono saccharides (glucose, fructose, galactose are mono saccharides). These mono saccharides are absorbed into the body from the small intestine and circulated to the cells with the help of blood and lymph.

What happens to glucose in the small intestine?

It gets absorbed into the blood stream via Lumen and a Glucose/Na+ symporter, Na+/K+ atpase and glucose 2 uniporter, but essentially is absorbed into the blood stream.


What happens to glucose as it passes through the kidney?

Glucose is typically reabsorbed in the kidneys and returned to the bloodstream. If blood glucose levels are high, the kidneys may not be able to reabsorb all the glucose, leading to its excretion in the urine, a condition known as glycosuria.


What is renal threshold of glucose?

Renal threshold is what happens when there is an overabundance of glucose in the body, the blood glucose levels will then get above 170mg/100ml (normal is 70mg/100ml).

What happens to glucose and amino acids when they are absorbed into the blood stream?

After the glucose is absorbed into the blood it is taken to the liver and is either stored or distributed to cells throughout the body for energy. To provide enough energy for the body the liver regulates blood glucose levels. Example: excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the liver and is stored. Likewise, if blood sugar levels fall it is reconverted back to glucose. Not sure about amino acids :P


What happens if blood glucose levels are not stable?

The kidneys may excrete glucose in the urine. very high blood glucose levels can damage almost every system and cell in the body, including the coronary artery. In other terms, Diabetes can occur.


What happens to glucose which the nephron along with a filtrate?

Glucose in the filtrate is reabsorbed from the nephron back into the bloodstream through the walls of the renal tubules. This process occurs mainly in the proximal convoluted tubule, where glucose transporters actively reabsorb glucose to maintain its concentration in the blood. If there is excess glucose that cannot be reabsorbed, it may be excreted in the urine.


What happens to the concentration of the blood glucose if not enough insulin is produced?

If not enough insulin is produced, the concentration of blood glucose will increase because insulin is responsible for helping glucose enter cells to be used for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose remains in the bloodstream, leading to high blood sugar levels, a condition known as hyperglycemia.

What happens to Red blood cells when added with water?

The red blood cell will become turgid because water will move from the glucose solution to the red blood cell.
