Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about 20% is used by the brain and nerve cells.
The brain constitutes about 2% of the total body but it is one of the main consumers of energy derived from glucose.
The energy provided by glucose is used for the proper functioning of the brain. It generates ATP which is an energy source that is responsible for r neuronal and non-neuronal cellular maintenance and generates neurotransmitters.
Thus glucose-derived energy is critical for the health of the brain. Lack of energy can cause several brain diseases.

The correct answer among the choices listed above is option C. It is important that a plant's phloem extends into its leaves because the phloem <span>collects the sugars made during photosynthesis and carries them around the plant. Hope this answers the question.</span>
Answer:
There are many questions that can be answered by science but I will provide some examples below.
Explanation:
Science involves many areas of study, <u>from biology and chemistry to physics and neuroscience</u>. Generating questions and providing answers are the most important steps in science as this process has allowed thousands of scientists to develop new drugs to treat previously-mortal diseases, to protect endangered species, to prevent population declines, to understand the behavior of fauna, among many other remarkable outcomes and discoveries.
In this answer, I will focus on some questions belonging to the life sciences areas that can be answered by science:
Biology
<em>How does climatic phenomena, such as El Niño and La Niña, affect the migration of whales?</em>
<em />
Neuroscience (humans)
<em>Is schizophrenia hereditable?</em>
<em />
Behavioral Ecology
<em>Does climate change affect the capability of cuttlefish to camouflage?</em>
Neuroscience (Animals)
<em>Are killer whales capable of problem-solving?</em>
<em />
Ecology
<em>How does the reduction of apex predator populations (terciary consumers) affect the population of secondary consumers?</em>
<em />
Conservation Biology
<em>Why do increased temperatures lead to coral bleaching? What is the mechanism and how can it be controlled?</em>
<em />
Animal Behavior
<em>What is the mechanism that Ophiocordyceps unilateralis (Zombie fungus) uses to manipulate ants for its own disperal?</em>
<em />
Parasitology
<em>Does the parasite Toxoplasma gondii induce erratic behaviors in humans?</em>
Answer: lower atmospheric pressure
Explanation:
During the inspiration process the diaphragm, and external intercostal muscles. The contraction of the diaphragm causes the increase in the size of the thoracic cavity this causes the contraction of the external intercostal muscles. As a result of this the ribs and the sternum get elevated.
This causes the lungs to expand, and increasing the volume of the air passage. In this response the air pressure inside the lungs reduces below the air outside the body. Thus this facilitates the movement of the gases from a region of high pressure to low pressure, this way the air rushes into the lungs.
The process of confirmation include the following sequence;
1. President nominates
2. Senate committee examines
3. Senate debates
4. Floor vote is taken.
The confirmation process begins when the President selects a nominee for a vacant judgeship. The president then refers the nominee to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The Judiciary Committee holds a hearing on the nominee and then the judiciary votes on whether to report the nominee to the full Senate. The full Senate has the opportunity to debate the nomination and if any senator objects to unanimous consent, then a cloture motion must be filed in order to end debate and move to a vote. Once the senate holds a confirmation vote, with a majority voting to confirm, the nominee becomes a federal judge.
