Question 7 • Biology

What will most likely happen if a person does not consume the minimum daily requirement of carbohydrates?

Answer
A
The body will break down galactose from the pancreas.
B
The body will break down glycogen from the liver.
C
The body will break down chitin from the bones.
D
The body will break down glucose from the blood.

Explanation

When carbohydrate intake is too low, the body can use stored carbohydrate for energy. It breaks down glycogen stored in the liver, releasing glucose to help maintain blood sugar. Galactose is not stored in the pancreas, and chitin is not stored in bones.
