Answer:
The answer is GLUCOSE.
Explanation:
Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.
If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.
The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.
Answer:
Termites have cellulose-digesting protists in their guts.
Explanation:
Termites are able to access nutrients contained in cellulose due to their mutualistic association with some cellulose-digesting protists such as <em>Trichonympha</em> and M<em>ixotricha</em>. The protists produce cellulase in addition to other glycolytic enzymes that work together to convert cellulose to malate.
The malate produced is further metabolized to produce
, hydrogen, acetate and energy in the form of ATP.
The protists get sheltered in the termite's gut in return.
Answer:
Mouth, stomach, liver, pancreas and small intestine.
Explanation:
If we eat these foods which have carbohydrates, its digestion starts from the mouth because the saliva present in the mouth mixes with the food and start its digestion. When the food reaches to the stomach, the foods are broken down into micromolecules with the help of enzymes secreted by liver and pancreas. After that the food goes to the small intestine where absorption of nutrients and water also occurs.
