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.

Why does a marathon runner keep sipping glucose water at regular intervals?

While running a marathon competitors drink glucose drinks to resupply their bodies with energy. They do this rather than eating a food containing carbohydrates because it is physically easier and quicker to drink a glucose drink than it is to try to bite and chew a food containing carbohydrates. Also, glucose in liquid form can enter the bloodstream much more quickly than glucose broken down from carbohydrate metabolism and requires much less energy to digest compared with a solid food. Finally, many people feel nauseated when performing strenuous exercise immediately after a meal of solid food.


What do all living things use to get their energy?

For Plants : Photosynthesis For animals (herbivours) : Eating plants For animals (carnivours) : Eating other animals For animals (omnivours) : Eating plants and other animals


Process of releasing energy through the breakdown of glucose?

The ATP molecule is the one that releases energy by the breakdown of glucose molecules. This provides energy to most of the cell functions.


What nutrient provides energy to the brain and nervous system?

Glucose.


What inference might a scientist make if she observed an increased in her energy after eating an afternoon snack?

If a scientist observed an increase in energy after eating an afternoon snack, she might infer that the snack provided a boost of glucose and other nutrients that the body utilized for energy. This could indicate that the snack effectively replenished energy stores, improving cognitive and physical performance. Additionally, she might consider factors like the composition of the snack (e.g., carbohydrates, proteins, fats) and its timing in relation to her previous meals.

Which molecule provides quick energy?

Glucose is a molecule that provides quick energy for the body. It is readily available in the bloodstream and can be quickly broken down in cells to produce energy through processes like glycolysis.


In what form do animals bodies store extra glucose?

Animals store extra glucose in their cells. That way, it is available to be called upon quickly as needed for extra energy. If you go for an extraordinarily long time without eating, these stores are quickly depleted, resulting in a loss of energy and weakness.

Where does the glucose in animal cells ocme from?

Animals get the glucose in their cells through plants. They obtain the glucose by eating the plants and absorbing their glucose and energy.


Is energy from glucose released slowly or quickly?

Slowly by cellular respiration, quickly by combustion (burning).


What energy does the body store from eating food?

The body uses glucose as energy. Excess glucose is stored as fat (in animals) and as starch (in plants).


What would you eat if you wanted to get a lot of energy very quickly?

Glucose.


What is a glucose polymer that also serves as an energy storing polysaccharide?

Glycogen is a glucose polymer that serves as an energy-storing polysaccharide in animals. It is stored in the liver and muscles and can be quickly broken down to release glucose when energy is needed.


What is a form of carbohydrate that can be quickly changed into energy?

Glucose. Study cellular respiration.


What is more sensible to have at a start of a race a drink of glucose or a slice of bread?

Glucose because the glucose drink releases its energy quickly (needed for a race) whereas the bread releases its energy slowly.


Where do cyclists get their energy from?

People say that they get there energy from the glucose that is from the sports drink and health food they have been eating and drinking.
