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.

Moraines are made of till. They form when a glacier stays in one place for a long time and deposits a pile of till, then it retreats and leaves a moraine.
The four major organic compunds are lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids.
Lipids are used to store energy, insulate insulate, and they help build cell membranes. Examples of lipids are fats, oils, and waxes.
Carbohydrates are used to give us quick energy and they help build cell walls. Examples of carbohydrates include bread, pasta, cereal, and rice.
The role of proteins is to build our bodies, help our immune system, and help cells communicate. Such examples include meat, beans, eggs, fish, nuts, soy, and dairy.
Finally, Nucleic acids are used to store gentetic info. Anything plant or animal based is considered a nucleic acid.
I believe it is a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen, because the way i learned was that carbon hydrogen and oxygen have a ratio of 1:2:1, respectively.
