Which food molecule monosaccharide polysaccharides lipid protein would you eat if you needed a quick boost of energy?

If I thought my blood sugar was low, or if my glucose meter said it was low, (I am a type II diabetic), I would eat something with glucose or take a glucose tablet or two or three, or eat something with sucrose (table sugar), or eat some fruit which has fructose (fruit sugar).
If my blood sugar was 120 or higher, I would look for some caffeine. Coffee, black tea, cola, etc.

How does a large particle leave a cell by a active transport?
It requires energy, and a protein carrier molecule. The large particle binds to the protein carrier on the inside of the cell. It is then transported across the membrane as a result of a conformational change in the protein (think of it flipping), and then it is released on the outside of the cell. Again, this requires some source of energy.
The transfer of energy from molecule to molecule is called?
conduction
What monosaccharide is important for producing energy?
A monosaccharide is a single sugar or a simple sugar molecule. Examples are glucose, fructose, galactose and ribose. The chemical formula for a monosaccharide is (CH2O)n where n varies from 3 to 9. The most important monosaccharides are either hexoses or pentoses. Hexoses are sugars which have 6 carbon atoms in the molecule ie n=6 in the above formula. Examples are glucose and fructose. Pentoses are sugars which have 5 carbon atoms in the molecule ie n=5 in the formula. Examples are ribose (found in RNA) and deoxyribose (found in DNA).

What energy does a moving molecule have?
thermal
What loses energy?
Oxidation occurs when a molecule loses an electron or increases its oxidation state when a molecule is oxidized it loses energy.
Why can a more complex sugar polysaccharides store more energy than a monosaccharide?
Polysaccharides have more chemical bonds.
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are?
The subunits that make up polysaccharides are sugars, or monosaccharides. An example of a monosaccharide is glucose, which we need for energy.
Why can more complex polysaccharide store more energy than a monosaccharide?
polysaccharides have more chemical bond
Why can a more complex sugar polysaccharid store more energy than a monosaccharide?
Polysaccharides have more chemical bonds.
Why can more complex suger polysaccharide store more energy than a monosaccharide?
polysaccharides have more chemical bond
Why can a more complex sugar polysaccharide store more energy than a monosaccharide?
Polysaccharides have more chemical bonds.
What the polysacarids?
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate polymers formed of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together by glycosidic linkages. Polysaccharides are essential in organisms for the purposes of energy storage and structural integrity.
Is glucose a molecule?
Glucose is a monosaccharide or simple sugar that is used as a source of energy by the body and in plants. Yes, glucose is a molecule.
What has more potential energy a molecule of sugar or a molecule of polysaccharides?
A molecule of polysaccharide is made up of many sugars, or sacchride units. so a polysacchiride has more energy, because it has more sugars than a sugar alone.
What energy molecule is used to carry out phagocytosis?
protein
How do organisms obtain energy from polysaccharides?
Because glucose is such an important molecule from which organisms obtain energy, plants and animals will string together units of glucose called polysaccharides. Plants store glucose as a polysaccharide called starch.
What are the two polysaccharides used to store energy?
glycogen and starch are the two polysaccharides used to store energy
