How long does it take for the food to be detected in the blood as glucose?

It depends on the food. If you drink a beverage heavy on glucose, it only takes minutes. On the other hand, if your food contains few carbohydrates and much fat and proteins, it will not necessarily rise your blood glucose level noticeably at all, and at any rate will take longer.

Glycogen is made of?
Glucose. Glycogen is a bunch of glucose molecules strung together in branched chains, unlike starch, which is glucose in long, straight chains. The liver, using Glucagon, a hormone, stores glucose for release later. Glucagon is one of the two main hormones used to control blood sugar.
What is the connection between glucose glycogen and glucagon?
Every time we eat sugary or starchy food, the amount of glucose available to the body rockets. Yet the levels of glucose in the bloodstream are maintained within narrow limits by two key hormones - insulin and glucagon - working to prevent hyperglycaemia (abnormally high glucose levels) or hypoglycaemia (low glucose). Both insulin and glucagon are released by the pancreas, a long, tapered gland that lies behind the stomach. Most of the pancreas produces digestive enzymes, which travel via ducts into the small intestine. But embedded in this tissue are nests of hormone-producing cells - the islets of Langerhans - which secrete insulin and glucagon into a network of surrounding blood vessels. High blood sugar levels stimulate the release of insulin (produced by the beta cells in the islets), which increases the uptake of glucose by cells. Inside the cells, the glucose may be used as energy, converted to glycogen for storage (mainly in the liver and muscles), or used in the production of fats. Glucagon is produced by the alpha cells in the islets, and is released by the pancreas when blood glucose is low. It stimulates the breakdown of stored glycogen to glucose, which is then released into the bloodstream. ------------------------------------------------------ To sum up the above answer, Glucose is converted to Glycogen by the hormone Glucagon.
What is a type of carbohydrate found in starch that is seven letters long?
It's called Glucose.
How is energy stored in your body?
Sugers The body stores its energy in the simplest molecules derived from the consumed food. Carbohydrates are broken down into their simple form, glucose. The glucose is released into the blood stream where it can be converted immediately to energy in the cells where it is needed through a multi-step process known as glycolysis. Extra glucose that isn't needed is converted to glycogen and stored in the liver and muscle tissues. When blood glucose levels drop below the optimal level (as glucose is used up), the liver converts the glycogen back to glucose and releases it into the blood stream.
What is the storage molecule made by glucose in plants?
Starch. Plants use the excess glucose to form starch molecules
Where in your body does the blood pick up glucose?
After we had the food, first nutrient that is separated out is glucose and this process is carried out at the intestine.If not food is take for long time (when fasting), the blood glucose level will drops and thus insulin secretion is also low on no. Then the liver start releasing glucose into the blood stream by converting stored glucogen to glucose.
