2. Once you recognize that this is a single replacement problem, determine whether the non-bonded element is a cation or anion. Then determine which element it will replace. Remember cations can only replace cations and anions can only replace anions.
If you haven't eaten for several hours and your blood sugar level drops, another hormone from your pancreas called glucagon signals your liver to break down the stored glycogen and release glucose back into your bloodstream.
It provides the 'fuel' for respiration in mitochondria which generates ATP, the energy source for all cell processes. Without a sufficient supply of glucose, cells quickly start to 'shut down' processes. It is therefore important to regulate the supply of glucose in the blood.Brain cells are particularly sensitive to low glucose levels. Blood glucose levels rise after a meal, as digested food is absorbed in the small intestine, and fall between meals as glucose is used by the cells of the body.t provides the 'fuel' for respiration in mitochondria which generates ATP, the energy source for all cell processes.
