Detailed explanation-1: -Glucose in the blood is taken up into your body’s cells and used to produce a fuel molecule called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a series of complex processes known as cellular respiration.
Detailed explanation-2: -Glucose, a 6-carbon sugar, is a simple carbohydrate or “mono-saccharide.” Sugar is a source of quick energy for the body because it is easily metabolized (broken down).
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates provide the body with glucose, which is converted to energy used to support bodily functions and physical activity.
Detailed explanation-4: -The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that carbohydrates make up 45% to 65% of total daily calories. So if you get 2, 000 calories a day, between 900 and 1, 300 calories should be from carbohydrates.
