If an individual is exercising at a low intensity for several hours, how would the concentrations of substrates change in plasma? Plasma levels of free fatty acids would increase as triglycerides are broken down for sustained energy. They remain stable and unaffected by exercise. Plasma glucose levels would gradually increase the longer exercise continues. Plasma levels of amino acids would increase, as protein breakdown would be needed to fuel continued exercise

Casey is a cyclist, about to begin a race. Draw a figure showing their blood glucose level earlier in the morning, immediately before, during and after the race.

Which of the following statements best describes the absorption of glucose? Absorption of glucose requires digestion by aminopeptidases on absorptive epithelial microvilli before absorption of the carbohydrate smaller units such as glucose. Absorption of glucose requires an electrochemical gradient of high extracellular K+ set up by primary active transport. Absorption of glucose occurs at villi and crypts mainly in the duodenum where amylases break down carbohydrates into glucose. Absorption of glucose occurs at the transporting epithelia in the small intestine and is a secondary active transport that requires a Na+gradient
