Glucose is stored calories in the form of fat, and are the first to go becuase they provide the most long-term energy. Lipids are essential to your vital organs in keeping them protected and functional, like the lipids from healthy fats in your cardiovascular system. Proteins, like fatty acids, are utilized by your cells to undergo a variety of processes, including mitosis. Overall, it is a process most likely determined by evolution, and our bodies prioritize giving us the most energy at the moment, which is why you burn calories while running, playing sports, and even playing chess (chess players can burn upwards of 6,000 calories in a single 12-14 hour game, perhaps even longer).

postnew [5]

Answer:

light is required to provide energy for photosynthesis

Explanation:

For photosynthesis to take place, it requires the presence of light and chlorophyll. The process has two stages; light and dark stage.

In the light stage, chlorophyll molecules absorb light energy which is used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen atoms. The process is called photolysis.

water→ hydrogen atoms + oxygen.

The hydrogen atoms produced enter the dark stage while oxygen is released in the atmosphere. In the dark stage, carbon dioxide combines with the hydrogen atoms to form simple sugar such as glucose.
