Detailed explanation-1: -Your body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose. Glucose, or blood sugar, is the main source of energy for your body’s cells, tissues, and organs. Glucose can be used immediately or stored in the liver and muscles for later use.

Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose is the main source of fuel for our cells. When the body doesn’t need to use the glucose for energy, it stores it in the liver and muscles. This stored form of glucose is made up of many connected glucose molecules and is called glycogen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Muscle cells use fatty acids, glucose, and amino acids as energy sources. Most cells use glucose for ATP synthesis, but there are other fuel molecules equally important for maintaining the body’s equilibrium or homeostasis.

Detailed explanation-4: -Most of the cells in your body use glucose along with amino acids (the building blocks of protein) and fats for energy. But it’s the main source of fuel for your brain.

Detailed explanation-5: -You get glucose from carbohydrates in the food you eat. Blood glucose (blood sugar) is the main sugar found in your blood. This sugar is an important source of energy and provides nutrients to your body’s organs, muscles and nervous system.
