Your body needs glucose to obtain the energy to function. Glucose is obtained by the body through eating carbohydrates. In each gram of carbohydrates you consume there are four calories worth of energy. Once ingested into the body, special enzymes in the digestive system break down the carbohydrates you have eaten into simple sugars called glucose. This breaking down process allows the body to access the calories of energy contained in the carbohydrate.
After eating a meal, the body goes to work to break down the carbohydrates to produce glucose. This glucose is released into the bloodstream, raising your blood sugar levels. For the cells to access the glucose in the bloodstream, your pancreas must produce a hormone called insulin. As your blood glucose levels start to rise, the pancreas is triggered to release insulin into the bloodstream. Without insulin the cells will be unable to absorb the glucose needed to obtain energy.
From the blood streams the glucose is absorbed into cells through specific receptors
Once the glucose has entered the cell, the cell works to burn the glucose to create energy. This is done through a process called aerobic metabolism. During aerobic metabolism, oxygen is pulled from the blood and into the cell with the glucose. The mitochondria uses the oxygen to burn the glucose into heat energy and adenosine triphosphate (ATP). ATP is then used to store or release the energy created, depending on the cell's needs.
When you intake Glucose directly much of the process are skipped(i.e breakdown of the carbohydrates)
Hence ,The one who had Glucose i.e REKHA will become energetic soon than Beena
