Glucose and it's function?
What's the primary function of glucose, and what happen if there's a shortage of glucose during cellular respiration?
My answer would be the primary function is to provide energy for cellular activities, and if there's shortage, there will be deficiency in body activities
Can anyone help me? I did some research and there were too many different answers, I'm not sure which one is right.
I found some that said primary function is that it's the source energy for the brain..short term energy storage? shortage of gllucose could lead to low blood sugar level , or the body will start to use the fat resource in the body? Which one is correct, help please

if is the level of glucose in blood decresing, muscles start to break down glycogen, liver will start to break down glycogen and formed Glc-phosphate dephosphorylate, so it can be exported (caused by glucagon) and adipose tissues should release fats
