If the human body were a car, glucose would be the gasoline.
Glucose gives humans energy, we basically run on glucose, among other things, the same way a car would run on gas.

Answer: The value of $K_c$ for the net reaction is $\frac{K_b}{K_w}$

Explanation:

The given chemical equations follows:

Equation 1: $B(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HB^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b$

Equation 2: $H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(l);\frac{1}{K_w}$

The net equation follows:

$B(aq.)+H^+(aq.)\rightleftharpoons HB^+(aq.);K_c$

As, the net reaction is the result of the addition of first equation and the second equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the net reaction will be the multiplication of first equilibrium constant and the second equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

$K_c=K_1\times K_2$
