ANSWER:
The nervous system which includes the brain makes use of almost half the glucose produced in the body. Glucose is a major source of energy for the body.
EXPLANATION:
- The brain specially is dependent on sugar for its functioning. The main functions of the brain like thinking, memory and learning all need sugar and glucose.
- The brain is rich in nerve cells and therefore needs sugar to activate its neurotransmitters.
- If the sugar or glucose level is low in the body, the neurotransmitters of the brain do not work in a normal manner.
