Answer:

Consumers use chemical energy from the chemical bonds within organic molecules such as carbohydrates, lipids,  and amino acids.

Explanation:

<u>Heterotrophs are consumers</u>; they ingest or absorb organic matter (lipids, carbohydrates, proteins, etc.)  made by autotrophs or producers for their energy consumption. Autotrophs include plants, bacteria, and other photosynthesizing organisms, while heterotrophs include animals, fungi, protists, and bacteria.

Heterotrophs obtain energy from food through the process of cellular respiration. For instance, during aerobic respiration in mitochondria, they break down sugars in the form of glucose into carbon dioxide and water to obtain energy in the form of ATP or adenosine triphosphate.

aerobic respiration:      C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

                                      glucose+ oxygen →  carbon dioxide+ water+ energy

Explain the role of insulin in the homeostatic regulation of blood glucose levels
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Insulin helps the cells absorb glucose, reducing blood sugar and providing the cells with glucose for energy. When blood sugar levels are too low, the pancreas releases glucagon. Glucagon instructs the liver to release stored glucose, which causes blood sugar to rise.

Hope this helps!
