Marathon runners preparing for a race engage in “carb loading” to maximize their carbohydrate reserves. This involves eating large quantities of starchy foods. Why is starch preferable to candy or sugar-rich foods?
.4 Indicate whether the following statements are true or false. For each FALSE answer please explain why the statement is incorrect. (6)1.4.1 The products of carbohydrate digestion are ultimately monosaccharides, which include glucose, fructose and lactose.1.4.2 Glucose makes use of active transport in the absorption process.1.4.3 Polysaccharides are absorbed by means of facilitated diffusion.1.4.4 Smaller lipids, such as glycerol, small chain fatty acids and medium chain fatty acids are absorbed directly into the blood stream.
Marathon runners who are preparing for a marathon "carb load" in order to optimize their carbohydrate reserves. This entails consuming a huge amount of starchy meals. Why is starch preferred over candy or other sugar-sweetened foods?
