Question

to this 122 S ns 2-3 S18> A Due Sat 02/03/2018 4:59 am When you eat your stomach breaks down your food into glucose and raw materials such as minerals and fatty acids. As a result, after you eat the amount of glucose in your blood, your blood glucose level, increases. As your body digests the food there is less food to convert to glucose and so your blood glucose level begins to decrease. The following graph represents an individual's blood glucose level in terms of the number of hours since he ate Note that the red graph represents the blood glucose level in terms of time elapsed since eating complex carbohydrates (such as wheat bread or brown rice) and the black graph represents the blood glucose level in terms of time elapsed since cating protein (such as chicken or beef). 6 11 protein 1050 1000 950 complex carbohydrate 0.5 1 Number of hours e 1.5 2.5 since eating

Explanation / Answer

Look at the red curve...
When t =0.5, y = 1000
When t = 1, y = 1100

So, his blood glucose level INCREASES
from
1000
to
1100

------------------------------------------------------------------

Look at the black curve for the protein problem.
When t = 2, y = 1100
When t = 2.75, y = 1025

DECREASES
from
1100
to
1025

------------------------------------------------------------------

c)
1000 mg was when t = 0.5
And 900 mg was when t = 2.125

So, 2.125 - 0.5
i.e
1.625 hrs ---> ANS
