glucose a.k.a sugar
Organic compounds, such as proteins and starches, are too large to diffues into cells. Proteins are digested into amino acids nd starches are digested into simple sugars
digested into simple sugars
Peptides and starches.
Starch turns into sugar while being digested inside your stomach.
Sugar is a simple carbohydrate made up of one or two sugar molecules, while starches are complex carbohydrates made up of many sugar molecules linked together. Sugars are quickly digested and absorbed by the body, providing a quick source of energy, while starches take longer to break down and provide a more sustained source of energy. Foods high in sugar often lack other nutrients, while foods high in starches can provide additional fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Starches are complex carbohydrates made up of long chains of sugar molecules. Simple carbohydrates, on the other hand, are made up of only one or two sugar molecules. Both starches and simple carbohydrates provide energy to the body, but starches take longer to break down and provide sustained energy, while simple carbohydrates are quickly digested and provide a rapid source of energy.
The breakdown process of starches takes place in the mouth. We chew our foods and mix it with saliva. This mixture enters the stomach and enzymes such as amylase breaks down starches further. So, the mouth is the first organ to break down starches.
No, fiber is a type of carbohydrate that is not easily digested by the body. It passes through the digestive system intact, aiding in digestion and promoting overall gut health. Complex carbohydrates are starches that take longer to break down compared to simple sugars.
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!!:)
A. animal blubber (fat) B. fruits and berries (starches, sugars) C. water D. tree bark (cellulose)
Starches are used for energy
starches and monosaccharides are carbohydrates, and monosaccharides make up starches, which is a polysaccharide.
