Carbs are ingested through through several forms; simple carbs (the break down easily in your stomach, they provide a quick release of energy and have a short life span) come in the form of sugars (fructose in fruit for instance is a simple carb). Complex carbs take longer to break down in you stomach, but have a longer lasting effect on raising your energy levels (Potatoe's, Rice) these will raise your energy (not a high as Simple Carbs) but will provide a level of energy longer...simple would be a boost for 1/2 - 1 hour, complex would be a boost for 1-4 hours...

What is the form of cabohydrates that are transported in the blood?

Glucose is the primary form of carbohydrate that is transported in the blood. Other forms of carbohydrates may be converted to glucose before being transported.


What form do humans use carbohydrates?

Humans primarily use carbohydrates in the form of glucose for energy production through cellular respiration. Glucose is obtained from the breakdown of more complex carbohydrates in the diet and is transported in the blood to cells where it can be used for energy or stored as glycogen for later use.


Form in which carbohydrate is transported in mammals?

Carbohydrates are transported in mammals in the form of glucose. Glucose is carried in the blood to tissues where it is either used for energy or stored as glycogen. Transport of glucose is facilitated by specific transport proteins called glucose transporters.


Are sugars from carbohydrates digestion transported from in the lymph?

No, sugars from carbohydrate digestion are not transported through the lymphatic system. Instead, they are absorbed in the small intestine and transported directly into the bloodstream via the portal vein. This process allows the sugars, primarily in the form of glucose, to be quickly delivered to the liver and other tissues for energy. The lymphatic system primarily transports fats and fat-soluble substances, not carbohydrates.

Site of transport of lipids and carbohydrates?

What is sugar for by living things?

Energy All carbohydrates, weather sugars or starches, are digested in the intestine to form glucose, which is transported around the body via the blood and taken into cells to be converted into energy!!:)


What are rice and alternatives?

They have Carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are a source of energy that can be transformed into glucose, the form of sugar that is transported and used by the body, more quickly than proteins or fats. A diet too high in carbohydrates can upset the delicate balance of a body's blood sugar level, resulting in fluctuations in energy and mood that leave one feeling irritated and tired.


What are two basic types of carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates are primary used by the body in the form of glucose.Fructose and galactose is also absorbed by the body. But these carbohydrates are not directly utilized as energy by the body, instead they are transported to the liver to be converted into fat or to glucose via the liver's glycogen storage.An answer to your question is therefore hard to give. The body uses carbohydrates in the form of glucose, with the exception of energy storage where the body can use fructose and galactose as well.
