How do you think the cells make more ATP?

"Your cells absorb glucose and convert it into energy to drive the
cell.Specifically, a set of chemical reactions on glucose creates ATP
(adenosine triphosphate), and a phosphate bond in ATP powers most of
the machinery in any human cell."

Your cells use glucose as an immedate scource of energy and fats if you
run out. It takes more energy to break down a triglyceride (fat) so it
can be converted to ATP than it does to use the Monosaccharide
(glucose).

I can't belive your telling a chemist he is wrong about this.:confused:


This is the Krebs cycle. It is named after it's discoverer. It is
the complete chemical explanation for how the cell creates ATP from
carbs, fats or proteins. Note there is no mention of glucose there, it
is first converted to the succinic acid at the bottom. Note the keto
glutaric acid on the right, this is derived from fat metabolism. My
point being that you do not need to eat sugar to have energy. Proteins
or your own muscle or fat can be used just as well. You do not need to
be a chemist to learn about this. Many animals are quite strong and
never eat carbs (sugars). This is the reason why it is unnecessary.
There are many possible pathways a cell can make energy from,
glucose metabolism is just one of many. :)
And did anyone get my point that there is a useless amount of
electrolytes in gatorade ?
