Glucose is systematically degraded into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen. The process (respiration) releases energy which is stored in the glucose molecule.

Why glucose concentration decreases in all body fluids?

Glucose concentration decreases in body fluids when cells take up glucose for energy production, storage, or use in metabolic pathways. This uptake helps regulate blood glucose levels and maintain a balance in the body's energy supply. Additionally, insulin plays a key role in facilitating glucose uptake into cells, contributing to the decrease in glucose concentration in body fluids.


How do you keep glucose level constant?

There is a substance in your blood that changes glucose into fat, but if your diabetic your body stops making the substance and so you have to ingect insulin if your type 1 diabetic or your take tablets if your type 2, which converts tne glucose ito fat. I know this because y dad is diabetic =)


Why are there blood capillaries close to all the cells in your organs?

You have 100,000 feet of blood vessels in your body. The tinest ones must be close to the cells. Each cell needs a constant supply of oxygen and glucose and other nutrients and must have means to remove wastes that they make.


How the body maintains the homeostasis?

The body maintains homeostasis through the maintainance of glucose.Insulin, secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas, transports glucose to the body's cells, lowering blood glucose levels. Insulin helps to prevent hyperglycemia.To be able to maintain a constant internal environment in your body, the body shivers and sweats.


What is the site of the body utilizes glucose as an energy source exclusively in all conditions?

The brain primarily utilizes glucose as an energy source exclusively, even in conditions of fasting or starvation. This is because neurons require a constant supply of glucose to function properly, and cannot efficiently use other energy sources like fatty acids.


What process does NOT help supply oxygen and glucose to the cells of the human body?

Excretion, because vacuoles help remove un-needed materials from the cell.


How does drip of glocose help patient to recover?

glucose in the body is maintained at a constant level. When there is a depletion in this level, a person can go unconscìous because of inadequate glucose supply to the brain. Administration of glucose increase glucose supply to the brain and recover such patients.


What hormone decreases blood glucose levels by transporting glucose into body cells?

Insulin is the hormone that decreases blood glucose levels by facilitating the transport of glucose from the bloodstream into body cells for energy production and storage.


Is glucose transported around the body in paper bags?

No, glucose is not transported around the body in paper bags. Glucose is carried in the bloodstream by red blood cells and transported to cells throughout the body where it is used as a source of energy.


Which nutrient class supplies glucose as the main source of energy for the body?

Carbohydrates supply glucose as the main source of energy for the body.
