Question

Your first biology exam is coming up in a few days, and to help you get through a late night study session you buy a package of cupcakes. You notice on the nutritional label that each cupcake contains 3 grams of total fat, 23 grams of carbohydrate, 1 grams of fiber, and 1 gram of protein. After consuming a cupcake, what molecule do you expect to be most abundant in your digestive system?

1.amino acids 2.monosaccharides 3.cellulose 4.triglycerides

Answer 1

I believe it would be cellulose but I could be wrong if I am I am sorry

Answer 2

Answer:

Monosaccharides

Explanation:

Digestion is the process of breakdown of large food molecules into small particles with the help of digestive juices and enzymes. The smaller food molecules can be easily absorbed in the small intestine.

Carbohydrates are broken down into monosaccharides, proteins into amino acids, fats into triglycerides and simple fats. Since, the cupcake contains 23 grams of carbohydrate the monosaccharides is most abundant in the digestive system.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
