What is food energy in the form of glucose?

Glucose is the human body's key source of energy as it provides energy to all the cells in our body. Glucose also is critical in the production of proteins, lipid metabolism and is a precursor for vitamin C production. Glucose is the sole source of fuel to create energy for all brain and red blood cells. The availability of glucose influences many psychological processes. When glucose levels are low, psychological processes requiring mental effort l(self-control, critical thinking and decision-making) become impaired.

Glucose is a simple sugar that serves as the primary energy source for living organisms. It is produced by plants and taken up by our cells through consumption, where it is then converted into ATP through cellular respiration. This energy is crucial for maintaining various bodily functions and activities.
