Sugars are used for energy and what else??

Biology
1 answer:
skad [1K]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

The body uses sugars from carbohydrates which supply the brain with glucose as the brain uses it as a "fuel source".

<h2>Why is glucose so important for the brain?</h2>

Quick answer: It takes a lot of energy to receive, interpret, and send signals via your neurons. Glucose is the simples sugar that can be used to make energy.

Cells require energy to carry out their typical everyday tasks. The simplest sugar that our cells can utilize for energy is glucose. Since your neurons are specialized cells, many additional cells are also present to support or protect them. All of the senses you can experience utilizing incoming neurons (from the body to the brain) are transmitted to and interpreted by the brain, including touch, pain, vibration, temperature, smell, sight, hearing, taste, and others. Signal reception and interpretation need energy. Additionally, your brain instructs your body to "do" things, which uses energy. Additionally, you spend a significant portion of your waking hours "thinking," which consumes energy. This explains why 20% of the glucose in your body is used by our teeny, tiny, little brains.

Thank you,

Eddie

All I ask is for ☝️one favor please. Describe how limiting factors has an impact on population of species
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: It can decrease or increase a population of species.

Explanation: Limiting factors include the availability of food, water, shelter, and etc. When a population of species are limited in any of these, they either move or adapt to their environment. So, population tends to decrease. The population that may finds an abundance of resources will find that their numbers tend to increase. This cycle is repeated over and over again.
