Question

when you dont eat enough, your body will break down which tissue to release glucose?
multiple choice
bone tissue
muscle tissue
blood cells
cartilage

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

When the body doesn't get enough food (carbohydrates), it starts breaking down muscle tissue. Muscle tissue contains proteins. Through a process called gluconeogenesis, the body can convert amino acids (from protein breakdown) into glucose to maintain blood - glucose levels. Bone tissue, blood cells, and cartilage are not the primary tissues broken down for glucose production in a state of insufficient food intake.

Answer:

Muscle tissue
