What role does glucose play in providing energy for the body?

Answer 1

Role of carbohydrates are as follows:

1. They supply energy
2. They provide fuel to central nervous system
3. They provide fuel to muscular system
4. They supposedly spare proteins
5. They supposedly supply dietary fibre

Answer 2

Glucose fuels the body's trillions of cells. To enter the cells, however, it needs insulin, a chemical released by the pancreas. it produces ATP i.e., Adenosine Tri Phosphate which is the source of energy for the cells of our body. Eating sugar doesn't cause Diabetes. Diabetes is of two types (i)Diabetes Mellitus - caused by the deficiency of insulin. (ii)Diabetes Insipidus - caused by the Hormonal deficiency.(hormone:Vasopressin) the general diabetes is diabetes mellitus often reffered as diabetes.

Answer 3

glucose is a source of energy. cells use it as a source of energy and a metabolic intermediate. Use of glucose may be by either aerobic respiration, anaerobic respiration, or fermentation . It is also a primary source of energy for the brain, and hence its availability influences psychological processes. When it is low, psychological processes requiring mental effort ( eg , self control , effortful decision-making) are impaired. Thus we can say that it fuels most of the activities in the body

Answer 4

A carbohydrate is one source of energy for your body. It supplies easy accessed energy. However, it's a non-essential macronutrient. Unlike protein and fats it is not essential for good health or to sustain life. You cannot live without protein and fats but you can live without carbohydrates, if you had to.

Answer 5

The body uses glucose to provide energy. The body is designed to digest foods by converting the food into glucose.

Answer 6

Glucose is the primary energy source for the cells of the body, and the only source of energy that neurons can use.

Answer 7

Glucose, being a naturally forming sugar, gives the body energy.

Answer 8

Energy that is stored in muscle , where glucose is converted into glycogen for storage.

Answer 9

Energy so you/your body can function
