In the glucose molecule, the chemical bonds between the. carbon (C) and hydrogen (H) atoms hold energy from the sun. 1. When our. bodies extract energy from food and convert it to a form that our cells can. use, we lose more than half of the total food energy as heat.
These secretions flow to the surface of the body or to the lining of a hollow structure in the body. The exocrine secretions are involved in many important functions, such as sweating, digestion and lubricating the eyes.There are many types of exocrine glands in the exocrine system.xamples include the salivary glands, liver, stomach, prostate, lacrimal glands, pancreas, sweat glands, sebaceous glands, and mammary glands. A few examples of conditions that afflict the exocrine system include infection, ulcer, cancer, tumors, obstruction, genetic conditions and sebaceous cysts.
A major organelle in most eukaryotic cells is the structure of membrane-bound sacs called the Golgi apparatus (or Golgi body, Golgi complex, dictyosome). It acts to process and package the macromolecules such as proteins and lipids that are synthesized by the cell. It has been likened to the cell's post office.A major function is the processing of proteins for secretion. The sacs or folds of the Golgi apparatus are called cisternae.he Golgi apparatus is integral in modifying, sorting, and packaging these substances for cell secretion (exocytosis) or for use within the cell.
