What is unused glucose that is converted to is stored in the liver?
glycogen
Unused glucose that is converted to is stored in the liver.?
glycogen
Where is glucose in a plant stored?
Glucose that is not utilized immediately for the plants growth are stored. The unused glucose is converted to starch molecules and stored throughout the cytoplasm
What happens to any glucose that is not used in a plant?
Unused glucose will be stored as glycogen, which may then be converted to fat.Glycogen may be converted back to glucose through glycogenolysis.
What is glucose not used immediately stored as?
Plants convert unused glucose into starch.
What does unused sugar turn into in your body?
Unused Sugar/Energy (glucose) is stored in fat cells, which are burnt off when the energy within them is needed.
What are the negative points of conserving energy?
unused energy get converted into fat and stored in the body... you get fat.
Which nutrients are stored in the body for later use?
Carbohydrates, if not used by the body, are stored as fat. Not all carbohydrates are converted to fat. Upon consumption the carbohydrates may be converted to glycogen for fast use by the body.
How is unused energy stored in plants?
Starch
Can unused energy be stored for the future?
Some types of energy can be stored; some can't be stored for long.
How is food used by the body?
Food is broken down to the molecular level, so its nutrients can be distributed through the blood stream, and so glucose in the food can be converted to glycogen for storage purposes. To get energy from the food, glucose undergoes a process called cellular respiration, where glucose is broken down in glycolysis to release ATP, NADH, and FADH2. ATP is energy that is ready to be used. NADH and FADH2 go through the Krebs cycle, where some of the energy the carry is converted into ATP. The remaining NADH and FADH2 are transported to the Electron Transport Chain (ETC). In the ETC, oxygen that is inhaled accepts the electrons that they carry and they are converted into ATP. There is still a large amount of energy that is unused, and this energy is released as heat and light to keep your body temperature stable.
How do you burn glucose and fat at the same time?
Glucose is a type of sugar, it takes a certain amount of energy (calories) to use up that sugar. so you eat 100 calories of glucose then exercise. While exercising you use (burn) 200 calories, you have now burned 100 calories of glucose and 100 calories of fat. any unused glucose is stored in the body as fat.
