Best Answer

The main source of blood glucose comes from food, principally from the two types carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates include fruits, fruit juices, table sugar, sweets and alcoholic beverages. These are easy to break down once ingested and cause blood sugar levels to spike immediately. Complex carbohydrates take more time to digest and convert into glucose. They are less likely to cause a rapid increase in blood sugar levels. These are usually in the form of starch and include whole grains, nuts, legumes, beans, cereals and breads.

What are some advantages and disadvantages of foregut and hindgut fermentation?

Foregut fermentation advantages: - Allows large amounts of food to be stored for later mastication and fermentation. - The main products of fermentation have plenty of time to be absorbed - as they travel through the rest of the digestive tract. - Any microbes (bacteria) that help this process can also be digested, releasing proteins. Disadvantages: - all food is exposed to bacterial breakdown (meaning the animal can't utilize high quality protein, sugars, etc.) - easily digestible substrates can reach the bacteria (can lead to ruminal acidosis - grain overload) Hindgut fermentation advantages: - Not all food is exposed to bacterial breakdown - Protein, fat, non-structured carbohydrates can be utilized like they would be in a carnivore/omnivore - The amount of easily digestible substrates reaching the hindgut is reduced (preventing things like grain overload) Disadvantages: - only one opportunity to chew food - may not have enough time for optimal bacterial action - not all bacterial products get absorbed - lots of bacteria are lost in the faeces
