Question

How does the body obtain glucose?

Answer 1

By breaking down and synthesising carbohydrates

Step-by-step explanation:

When the mouth consumes starch contained or carbohydrate foods, and it passes through the oesophagus to the stomach, starch enzymes are released to break down the complex sugars to a simpler monossacharide sugar called glucose.

Answer 2

When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose. The stomach and small intestines absorb the glucose and then release it into the bloodstream.
