When we consume different macromolecules, our bodies break them down during digestion and absorb some of them (most of what we eat is not absorbed).
When macromolecules enter our bloodstream, they become available to our body's cells to use as energy.
The graph below depicts the different macromolecules present in our bloodstream after eating.
Use this information to answer the questions.

Analyzing the image to the left, what macromolecule gets converted into blood sugar (glucose) the fastest?
Proteins
Lipids
Carbohydrates
Nucleic Acids
Analyze the image to the left, why do proteins get broken faster than lipids even though lipids contain more energy?
Proteins contain sugar monomers and can be converted into glucose
Lipids contain too many chemical bonds for them to be readily broken down into blood sugar, therefore the process takes longer.
Proteins contain too many chemical bonds for them to be readily broken down into blood sugar, therefore the process takes longer when compared to lipids.
Lipids get broken down the fastest and releases the most amount of blood glucose after 1 hour.
Using the graph to the left, which of the following statements is true?
Carbohydrates take the longest amount of time to be broken down and converted into blood sugar
Lipids take the least amount of time to be broken down and converted into blood sugar
Proteins release less blood sugar than lipids after 3 hours
Carbohydrates release the most amount of blood sugar in the course of 1 hour.
Proteins release the most amount of blood sugar in the course of 1 hour.
Lipids release the most amount of blood sugar in the course of 1 hour.
