Answer: simple inorganic molecules to sugar
Explanation:
Through the process of photosynthesis plants use the green coloured pigment named chlorophyll present in their leaves to trap sun light (solar energy) alongside other simple inorganic molecules like atmospheric carbon dioxide and water to produce sugar molecules (usually glucose) which is later stored as starch.
Answer:
Fasting can definitely raise blood glucose. This is due to the effect of insulin falling and the rising counter-regulatory hormones including increased sympathetic tone, noradrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone, in addition to glucagon. These all have the effect of pushing glucose from liver storage into the blood. This is normal. If you are not eating, you want to use some stored glucose. The question is this – if you are not eating, and your blood glucose went up, where did that glucose come from? It can only have come from your own body (liver). So, it’s a natural phenomenon, and the fasting now allows your body to use some of the glucose for energy.
