Question

Answer in one sentence :Explain how muscles and organ get energy

Answer 1

All parts of the body (muscles, brain, heart, and liver) need energy to work.

This energy comes from the food we eat.

Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and

enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars

and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called

glucose.

The stomach and small intestines absorb the glucose and then release it into

the bloodstream. Once in the bloodstream, glucose can be used immediately for

energy or stored in our bodies, to be used later.

However, our bodies need insulin in order to use or store glucose for energy.

Without insulin, glucose stays in the bloodstream, keeping blood sugar levels

high.
