Now that you have a better understanding of how much some of your organs and tissues use glucose (and their proportionate sizes), it's time to revise the glucunculus you created at the beginning of this lesson. To do this, you first need to understand the ratio of % energy consumption to % of body weight by organ.
Use the data you answered in the previous calculations to complete a simple calculation: % energy consumption/ % body weight. You can fill out your calculations in the table below.
After you have completed your calculations, go back to original glucunculus you created and in a NEW COLOR (or some other clearly identifiable representation), show the size of each organ based on its glucose utilization. DON'T WORRY! YOUR DIAGRAM SHOULD LOOK DISTORTED!
