Question 8

Why do we get instant energy from glucose?

Answer

Glucose is a simple sugar which is readily absorbed by the body. Unlike other foods such as carbohydrate, glucose doesn’t have to be processed by the digestive system for energy. It is directly absorbed into the bloodstream and all cells of the body. Once inside, glucose undergoes oxidation, which leads to the release of ATP, a high-energy molecule that provides energy for the cell.
