What else can I help you with?
Where is most of the water absorbed in the human body?
Most of the water in the human body is absorbed in the small intestine.
Where is most of the water you drink absorbed in the body?
Most of the water you drink is absorbed in the small intestine of the body.
How is sugar absorbed?
Through the small intestine like most foods.
What Alcohol is absorbed primarily though the?
Most alcohol is absorbed into the body through the samll intestines.
What is the simple sugar that the body uses for quick energy?
Glucose is the simple sugar that the body uses for quick energy. It is a key source of fuel for cells and is readily absorbed into the bloodstream to provide energy for various bodily functions.
Which nutrients do animals digest most quickly into glucose?
sugar
What are the health benefits of monosaccharides?
First, monosaccharides consist of glucose, fructose, and galactose. These are the most simple sugars that exist. The benefit of these sugars is that the body does not need to break down the sugar to use them. Therefore, the sugars go into the blood stream more quickly and gives energy more quickly and increases blood sugar quickly.
What part of the body absorb alcohol?
Most alcohol is usually absorbed in the digestive tract. And most, by far, is absorbed in the small intestine but some is absorbed in the mouth, throat and stomach.
Which radioactive most easily absorbed?
Radioactive isotopes that are easily absorbed by the body typically have chemical properties similar to essential elements, such as iodine or cesium. These isotopes are more easily absorbed because the body can mistake them for essential nutrients. For example, iodine-131 is readily absorbed by the thyroid gland due to its similarity to stable iodine.
Are sugar alcohols really alcohol?
Most carbohydrates are either a common sugar or a long chain of sugars linked together. The body's digestive system works to break the chains apart into simple sugars so the body can absorb them. Thus, most carbohydrates can turn into sugar.
Can cane syrup substitue for corn syrup?
No. Cane syrup comes from the sugar cane plant, corn syrup comes from the corn plant. All sugars are sugar, but some affect the body differently depending on how quickly they break down in the body, how they are absorbed/utilized by the body, etc. For example, "high fructose corn syrup" has been shown to cause over 50% more belly fat than other sugars, which is why people are supposed to avoid it. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Agave syrup (from a cactus plant) is one of the lowest foods on the glycemic index (which measures how quickly a sugar breaks down in the body and how much that sugar affect (raises) insulin levels). Sugar is all sugar, but different kinds of sugar can act very differently in the body. Hope that answers your question. :)
How do carbs impact my blood sugar?
During digestion, the starches and sugars in carb-containing foods are broken down. How quickly the body breaks them down (and how many are actually absorbed) depends on the food. Your body converts most carbs into glucose, a simple sugar. Glucose is absorbed into your bloodstream, where it is shuttled to cells and tissues as a source of energy. Extra glucose is stored in muscles and the liver. The body closely regulates blood sugar to ensure it has a constant supply of fuel. When blood glucose rises after a meal, the pancreas releases insulin into the blood. Insulin acts as a key, unlocking cells and allowing glucose to enter. When blood sugar is low, another hormone—glucagon—replenishes levels by releasing stored glucose from the liver. When you have diabetes, either the pancreas produces little or no insulin, or the cells don't respond when insulin comes knocking. If cells are unable to use glucose efficiently, blood sugar stays elevated and the body has trouble accessing its main fuel source.
