What else can I help you with?
Which part of your body doesn't use glucose?
Our body need energy to work so all of our body parts need glucose.
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.
Sugar is an example of?
Fructose and glucose are both chemicals in the body similar to sugar.
Glucose may be used in the body to?
Glucose is used by the body as a primary source of energy. Red blood cells and neurones rely entirely on glucose for energy. Excess amounts of glucose in the body is converted to glucogon or fat and stored for later use.
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.
What is the nutrient that supplies about 60 percent of the body's resting energy needs?
fat stored in fat cells supplies 60 percent
What is the name for the minimum energy expended to keep a resting awake body alive and represents a total of 60 percent to 70 percent of total energy expenditure?
Basal Metabolism (BMR)
What percentage of your resting energy comes from stored fats?
Fat supplies 60 percent of the body's ongoing energy needs during rest.
How much blood is supplied to your brain?
Your brain gets about 15 % of the blood supply of the resting body cardiac out put. Your brain consume about 20 % of the glucose consumed by resting body.
Does your body use energy while resting?
Yes
Why is glucose good for you?
Yes ...glucides are good for you ...they are carbohydrates , and we need these....the body converts these to glucose which in turn are converted into energy by the body .....
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.
How does the body convert glucose from protein into energy?
The body converts glucose from protein into energy through a process called gluconeogenesis. In this process, the liver and kidneys convert amino acids from protein into glucose, which can then be used by the body as a source of energy.
During the first few days of a fast what energy source provides about 90 percent of the glucose needed to fuel the body?
Protein
What energy does the body store from eating food?
The body uses glucose as energy. Excess glucose is stored as fat (in animals) and as starch (in plants).
Cells use to get energy only when carbohydrate's are not available?
lIPIDS
Why is glucose required in the body?
To provide energy
