Insulin is a hormone that is central to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body. Insulin causes cells in the liver,muscle, and fat tissue to take up glucose from the blood, storing it as glycogen in the liver and muscle.
Insulin stops the use of fat as an energy source by inhibiting the release of glucagon. When insulin is absent, glucose is not taken up by body cells and the body begins to use fat as an energy source or gluconeogenesis; for example, by transfer of lipids fromadipose tissue to the liver for mobilization as an energy source. As its level is a central metabolic control mechanism, its status is also used as a control signal to other body systems (such as amino acid uptake by body cells). In addition, it has several otheranabolic effects throughout the body.
Cellular respiration breaks down glucose in order to make energy (ATP).
Cellular respiration needs glucose. Glucose is produced by photosynthesis
can be changed into glucose and used in cellular respiration.
Yes - glucose is broken down in the first step of cellular respiration. This stage is known as glycolysis and occurs in the cytoplasm. Cellular respiration begins with glucose and ends creating ATP.
Food... carbohydrates are converted into glucose.
Glycolysis, the process by which glucose is broken down to produce energy in the form of ATP, would be directly affected by a glucose shortage. Without enough glucose, cells would not be able to efficiently generate energy, impacting many essential cellular functions.
