Diane ingests a candy bar and this digested enters her bloodstream as __1 which is an important source of energy for her body. However, her glucose levels are already high, so her liver cells convert some of the excess into ___2 and fat cells convert some of it into fat.

Diane ingests a candy bar and this digested enters her bloodstream as GLUCOSE which is an important source of energy for her body. However, her glucose levels are already high, so her liver cells convert some of the excess into GLYCOGEN and fat cells convert some of it into fat. Diane’s friend Chris is currently experiencing low levels of GLUCOSE so his liver converts GLYCOGEN back into GLUCOSE thanks to the hormone GLUCAGON. The correct options are 1.) Glucose, 2.) Glycogen, 3.) Glucagon

Explanation:

After the ingestion of carbohydrates or sugars, it's absorbed into the body cells as glucose, after digestion, which is the primary source of energy for the body. When glucose is in excess, it's stored as Glycogen in liver cells or through lipogenesis process,converted to fat in fat cells. The stored glucose molecules ( glycogen) can be converted back to glucose when low levels of glucose is detected. The hormone glucagon prevent glucose levels from dropping soo low by acting on liver cells there by converting stored glycogen to glucose.

a less-active, mature cell in areolar connective tissue would be a:

a. fibroblast

c. chondroblast

d. chondrocyte
