<span>1.) What is the most important source of energy that our body craves more than any other?
Glucose is a type of sugar you would find in healthy fruits and vegetables. The body needs this to be active and full of energy. It starts as glucose, then gets turned into ATP.
2.) What are the organelles in each cell that burn this energy?
Mitochondria, and cytoplasm.</span>
Glucose gets into the cells through a process called facilitated diffusion. This is a transport mechanism in which carrier proteins shuttle molecules across the cell membrane without using the cell's energy supplies and so it is called passive transport. The carrier proteins bind to glucose, which causes them to change shape and translocate the glucose from outside of the cell membrane and into the cell.
(a) glucose is important because it is the primary source of energy for the cell.
(b) Glucose is 6 - carbon monomer of starch. It is a sugar.
(c) Glucose is broken down to pyruvate through the process of glycolysis.
