Which of the following is the most common source of energy for brain cells in humans:
A
Glucose
B
Nucleic Acids
C
Proteins
D
Peptides
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose, a form of sugar, is the primary source of energy for every cell in the body. Because the brain is so rich in nerve cells, or neurons, it is the most energy-demanding organ, using one-half of all the sugar energy in the body.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complex carbohydrates “These foods are naturally rich in glucose, which is the main energy source for the brain, but don’t impact our insulin levels, ‘’ she says. The very best sources are whole grains, beans, legumes, berries, and sweet potatoes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is the essential metabolic fuel for the brain. Acute and severe reduction of brain glucose leads quickly to impairment of cognitive and reflex function, autonomic failure, seizures, loss of consciousness, and permanent and irreversible brain damage and, if not rapidly corrected, can be lethal.

Detailed explanation-4: -Estimates from their approach indicate that most of the energy used in the brain is required for the propagation of action potentials and for restoring postsynaptic ion fluxes after receptors have been stimulated by the neurotransmitter.
