Glucose is virtually the sole fuel for the human brain, except during prolonged starvation. The brain lacks fuel stores, thus requires a continuous supply of glucose. It consumes about 120 g daily which corresponds to an energy input of 420 kcal (1760 KJ), accounting for some 60% of the utilization of glucose by the whole body in the resting state.

In a thunderstorm 5 miles away, which would you experience first?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

If we are watching the sky, we see the lightning before we hear the thunder. That is because light travels much faster than sound waves. We can estimate the distance of the lightning by counting how many seconds it takes until we hear the thunder. It takes approximately 5 seconds for the sound to travel 1 mile.
