why do you think it is important that the energy in glucose is not released all at once?

Answer 1

There are no reactions that need so much energy at one time and the excess would be lost.
Think of a molecule of sugar as a $1000 bill in an economy where no one gives any change. If you use it to buy a $5 hamburger, you lose $995. If you convert it to $20 bills (ATP) then you only lose $15 when you buy the burger.

Answer 2

do u think one molecule of glucose can give all the energy needed by the body for a day?
depending on how much food is eaten,glucose molecules are released.each glucose unit gives energy by entering into cell undergoing metabolism(glycolysis,kreb's cycle and ETS cahin).
once the energy requirement is met and still the glucose is released it is converted into glycogen and stored in the liver(it cannot store more than 250-300 mg.so after glycogen the excess glucose is converted into fats and stored in adipose tissue.

when there is deficit of glucose cos of fasting or stavation the glygogen and fats are broken down respectively to relese glucose for energy.

Answer 3

Because the body needs a constant supply of energy to keep it alive. This energy comes mostly from glucose that is absorbed from food.
