Define the Utilization of Glucose - Carbohydrates
A constant blood glucose level is maintained so that all body tissues have a constant supply. Excess glucose is converted to glycogen in the presence of insulin and stored in the liver and in the muscles. Remaining glucose is converted into fat and stored in the body. Glucose is used in the body to provide energy and heat. Oxygen helps in the process of breakdown of glucose. Waste products left are carbon dioxide and water.
