Best Answer

Slow release energy foods are complex carbs ie grains/veg/ - containing vitamins and minerals which are good for your health. Glucose from these are stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles as a reservoir to provide you with energy when you need it. Too much turns to fat.

Quick release energy foods are mainly sugars- sweet foods not nutritionally very useful. These are glucose that is absorbed into the bloodstream very quickly and used up quickly - which is why you can suddenly get a drop in glucose levels.

A good balance of both is good. So quick release gives quick energy & slow release energy is stored (& important as nutrition source for body functions)

What is a energy releasing molecule?

are the molecules that when they descompose in primary components they liberate energy in the human cell, we can use this energy in the cytoplasm fot multiple functions. there are molecules with unestable covalentes unions, that can change the chemical configuration, liberate energy slow or rapidly.


What is the function of oxygen in aerobic metabolism?

How we get the energy from the food we eat, its similar to process of burning a candle or a fire, oxygen is how you get the energy and how you control. For example limiting the oxygen limits the energy, like when you sit on a couch your breathing is slow and relaxed versus when you run you huff and puff gasping for air.


Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is?

Molecules in a substance slow down when a substance is cooled. Temperature is the measure of average kinetic energy of particles. Kinetic energy is the energy of motion. So when temperature decreases, the average kinetic energy decreases, so the energy of motion decreases, and the molecule slows down.


What causes fission?

Only certain elements are fissionable, or at least with practical means. The fission of for example the atom U235 happens when it is struck by a slow neutron, it splits, which is fission, releasing two smaller atoms and two or three neutrons (products). The products from the nuclear reaction weigh less then the original atoms. The difference in weight is converted into energy.


Why is Pluto go around the sun slow?

It is the obese planet and that is why its so slow. It gives off harmful rays that when put in contact with a child makes them obese too. This happened to my children.

Are Carbohydrates are good energy sources because their bonds store a large amount of energy?

They have bonds that can be unmade, releasing electrons onto other molecules, so yes they store and release energy.


Does pasta in lasagna give you energy?

Pasta does not give you quick energy. Pasta is made up of complex carbohydrates that provide slow-release energy. However, it is important to note that while pasta may be low in sources of quick energy, there is a significant amount of sugar in spaghetti sauce. Sugar is a simple carbohydrate, which means it provides quick energy. Assuming "spaghetti" is a combination of both pasta and spaghetti sauce, I would say it is a source of both quick and slow-releasing energy.
