What term describes how quickly glucose is absorbed from food after ingestion?
glycemic index
How quickly is fructose absorbed into the body?
I can't give you an exact answer but I know it is absorbed more slowly than glucose ( the fastest to be absorbed) and sucrose. Because of this, it is Ok for diabetics, in moderation.
Which type of sugar is absorbed most quickly by the body?
Simple carbohydrates absorb in the body more easily. They also provide the quickest source of energy to the body. Complex carbohydrates have to breakdown into simple carbohydrates before they can be absorbed by the body.
Why can an athlete obtain more energy more quickly by eating glucose rather than starch?
Yes, because it is not necessary to break glucose down because it is already in its simplest state(besides its chemical composition), where as starch is a combination of three glucose molecules and needs to be digested.
How does the glucose get to the body cells?
Glucose is absorbed through the small intestine into the capillaries. There are millions of villi (finger-like projections) that line the inside of the small intestine to increase its surface area for absorption. Villi have a very rich blood supply, so the glucose can be absorbed quickly and the blood is taken away quickly, maintaining a steep concentration gradient for more glucose, and other food, to be absorbed.
What is the relationship between kcals and blood sugar?
Very indirect. kcals measures the amount of energy in food. And energy is transported through the blood in the form of glucose (sugar). But the amount of glucose in the blood is determined not just by how much food you eat, but by how quickly it's changed into glucose, how much of it is absorbed into the blood and how fast, and how quickly that glucose is accepted into the cells (which depends on insulin levels). So you can't really establish a direct relationship since there are too many other major factors.
Having food in your stomach keeps alcohol from being absorbed quickly or slowly?
QUICKLY
Quickly verb or not?
Quickly is an adverb. It describes a verb. e.g. The man ran quickly along the road. In this case ran is the verb and quickly is the adjective as it describes the manner in which the man ran.
Which food gives us energy quickly?
Sugar is the most readily form of energy to be used by the body.
Is energy from glucose released slowly or quickly?
Slowly by cellular respiration, quickly by combustion (burning).
Where or when is glucose absorbed into the blood stream?
Glucose is absorbed through the small intestine into the capillaries. There are millions of villi (finger-like projections) that line the inside of the small intestine to increase its surface area for absorption. Villi have a very rich blood supply, so the glucose can be absorbed quickly and the blood is taken away quickly, maintaining a steep concentration gradient for more glucose, and other food, to be absorbed.
When glucose is in short supply plants will quickly hydrolyze?
starch
