What is the energy molecule that the brain uses exclusively?
108848
Adenosine Triphosphate, of course... or ATP for short.  All cells use ATP to generate energy, which the cells accomplish by breaking off one phosphate ion, which triggers a release of energy and turns the ATP molecule into an ADP molecule.

The brain floats in a cushion of cerebral fluids and when a blow is strong enough to overcome the cushioning, the brain is diffusely affected; the whole brain is shocked. The brain can spend up to a week in hyper-metabolic activity, taking in many nutrients, before it recovers.

:) Okay. From a strictly scientific standpoint. What does your brain operate on? Electrical energy. We have a scientific law which states; Energy can neither be created, nor destroyed. It can only be altered in form. Okay, the energy in our brains cannot be destroyed, upon the death of our physical bodies. Then what happens to it??? I think there's your Ghosts. Who we are changes form, but is not destroyed. We still exist. I guess maybe it's a science based definition of a soul?

The brain. It is so complex and controls every other organ. I think it is the most important, since without it, all of your other organs would have no use.

LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) is one of the major drugs making up the hallucinogen class of drugs. Hallucinogens cause hallucinations—profound distortions in a person’s perception of reality. Hallucinogens cause their effects by disrupting the interaction of nerve cells and the neurotransmitter serotonin. Distributed throughout the brain and spinal cord, the serotonin system is involved in the control of behavioral, perceptual, and regulatory systems, including mood, hunger, body temperature, sexual behavior, muscle control, and sensory perception

Most likely Energy in Joules. We need a context though.

Glyconutrients in the forms of starch and glycogen. They provide the most fundamental energy for our body when the chemical bonds are cracked and transformed into ATP. Moreover, they appear in many cell structures.

Food provides energy and energy fuels the brain. With healthy snack breaks (is this what you mean?) the brain can catch up with all the work it's been doing.

We do use our whole brain.  The statement "we only use 10% of our brain" is untrue.\nCheck out this site for more info:\nhttp://www.snopes.com/science/stats/10percnt.htm

All living organisms require energy to function. This energy may be obtained from the consumed foods. The most efficient way for cells to harvest energy stored in food is through cellular respiration, a catabolic pathway for the production of adenosine triphosphate, or ATP. ATP is a high-energy molecule and it is expended by working cells. The starting material of cellular respiration is the sugar glucose, which has energy stored in its chemical bonds. \n\nThere are actually two general types of respiration, aerobic and anaerobic. Aerobic respiration occurs in the presence of oxygen, while anaerobic respiration does not use oxygen. Both types of cell respiration begin with the process of glycolysis, after which the two diverge. \n\n\nAerobic respiration is more efficient and more complicated than anaerobic respiration. Aerobic respiration uses oxygen and glucose to produce carbon dioxide, water, and ATP. More precisely, this process involves six oxygen molecules for every sugar molecule:\n6O2 + C6H12O6 6CO2 + 6H2O + ATP (energy)\n\nAerobic respiration requires oxygen. However, some organisms live in places where oxygen is not always present. Similarly, under extreme exertion, muscle cells may run out of oxygen. Anaerobic respiration is a form of respiration that can function without oxygen.\n\nIn the absence of O2, organisms continue to carry out glycolysis, since glycolysis does not use oxygen in its chemical process. But glycolysis does require NAD+. In aerobic respiration, the electron transport chain turns NADH back to NAD+ with the aid of oxygen, thereby averting any NAD+ shortage and allowing glycolysis to take place. In anaerobic respiration, cells must find another way to turn NADH back to NAD+. \n\nThis “other way” is called fermentation. Fermentation’s goal is not to produce additional energy, but merely to replenish NAD+ supplies so that glycolysis can continue churning out its slow but steady stream of ATP. Because pyruvates are not needed in anaerobic respiration, fermentation uses them to help regenerate NAD+. While employing the pyruvates in this way does allow glycolysis to continue, it also results in the loss of the considerable energy contained in the pyruvate sugars. \n\nThere are two principle forms of fermentation: lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation. \n\nIn lactic acid fermentation, pyruvate is converted to a three-carbon compound called lactic acid: \npyruvate + NADH lactic acid + NAD+\n\nIn this reaction, the hydrogen from the NADH molecule is transferred to the pyruvate molecule. \n\nLactic acid fermentation is common in fungi and bacteria. Lactic acid fermentation also takes place in human muscle cells when strenuous exercise causes temporary oxygen shortages. Since lactic acid is a toxic substance, its buildup in the muscles produces fatigue and soreness. \n\nAnother route to NAD+ produces alcohol (ethanol) as a by-product:\n\npyruvate + NADH ethyl alcohol + NAD+ + CO2\n\nAlcoholic fermentation is the source of ethyl alcohol present in wines and liquors. It also accounts for the bubbles in bread. When yeast in bread dough runs out of oxygen, it goes through alcoholic fermentation, producing carbon dioxide. These carbon dioxide bubbles create spaces in the dough and cause it to rise. \n\nLike lactic acid, the ethanol produced by alcoholic fermentation is toxic. When ethanol levels rise to about 12 percent, the yeast dies.

All body processes require energy to run properly. When the body is expending more energy than it is taking in (e.g. when exercising), body cells rely on internally stored energy sources, like complex carbohydrates and fats, for energy. The first source the body turns to is glycogen, which is a complex carbohydrate created by the body. When that source is nearly depleted, the body begins lipolysis, the metabolism of fat for energy. In this process, fats, obtained from fat cells, are broken down into glycerol and fatty acids, which can be used to make energy. The primary by-products of metabolism are carbon dioxide and water; carbon dioxide is expelled through the respiratory system.\n\nFats are also secreted by the sebaceous glands (in the skin).

A) Aerobic respiration\n\nNeurons use an enormous amount of ATP to operate the Na+/K+ pump. Aerobic respiration produces an enormous amount of ATP (36 ATP per 1 glucose). Neurons therefore utilize aerobic respiration.\n\nThe other answers do not make sense. \n\nAnaerobic glycolysis provides very little ATP (2 ATP per 1 glucose). Creatine phosphate provides little ATP and is localized in the muscle. Stored glycogen only directly provides glucose for glycolysis. Catabolism of DNA would lead to the death of the organism, or at least mutagenesis.

consumtion of energy in the form of ATP, activation or mitochondria and reticular endothilium for supporting production of ATP, good luck

Cells use this energy for their metabolism/ life processes. the life processes include:\nGrowth\nReproduction\nRespiration\nSynthesis\nTransport\nExcretion\nHomeostasis\nNutrition\n\nATP (the molecule in which cells store energy-- specifically, it's found in the bonds), or Adenosine Tri Phosphate, is used for all of these processes. I'm not sure about what you mean, "Two main things"-- but of those proccesses listed above, the "two main" ones would probably be Homeostasis (maintaining a stable internal environment) and Synthesis...
