Solution

  1. Glucose is a simple sugar that the body quickly absorbs.
  2. Unlike other nutrients, such as carbs, glucose provides energy without requiring digestion.
  3. It is directly absorbed into the bloodstream and all cells.
  4. When glucose enters the cell, it is oxidized, resulting in the formation of ATP, a high-energy molecule that provides the cell with instant energy.
