i have a doubt regarding the question:
"sugars provide energy faster than starch"
and the answer is:
"sugars are used to provide energy
immediately whereas starch releases energy much slower than sugars. Then
the excess sugars is stored in our body as fats."
i didn't understand that why does sugar give energy faster than starch
the teacher has only given who gives not why they give
please answer my question as fast as possible i have
my SA-1tomorrow.
glucose is monosaccharide ie. the simplest form of sugar. it directly absorbed by digestive system, without any need of undergoing digestive process. and it is also directly utilised by body cells.
Starch is polysaccharide ie. polymer of glucose, synthesis in plants by combination of many glucose molecules. it store more energy than single glucose molecule. our body can not use starch as it is. Starch require to break down in to glucose by the process of digestion and our body absorb glucose molecules not starch. this require time for digestion.
So glucose give instant energy to body as compare to starch.
So marathon runner drink glucose- electrolyte water during running,
As glucose is water soluble; excess of glucose excreted in urine. so it is not store in our body in large amount as it is.
Glucose molecules combines and from glycogen which is a polymer of glucose form by animal tissue. and excess of glucose store in form of glycogen. our body ( liver) can not store large amount of glycogen as well and it is not a good concentrate form. so our body convert it in fat and store as fat as it is concentrated form and can be store and use as require by body.
I hope you understand sharanya. bye and best luck.
