Step by step
Solved in 2 steps
- Why does glucose and sucrose get metabolized but starch does not?What chemicals are originally employed to create glucose during famine or fasting?The enzyme sucrase splits the disaccharide sugar sucrose into the monosaccharides glucose and fructose. What prevents the glucose and fructose molecules from reentering the active site and reforming a sucrose molecule?
- Why is fructose metabolized more rapidly than glucose?Carbohydrates and lipids are composed of the same chemical element, but in different proportions. Both are used primarily as energy source for metabolic process. Which type of biomolecule has the higher calorie content per gram? Explain briefly.What health consequence is most likely to result from a diet high in saturated fat and refined sugars ?
