Question

Name two components of food which are considered as energy giving

Answer 1

Answer:

Two components in food that gives you energy are:

1) Carbohydrate :-

Carbohydrate is the major source of energy provider. Complex starch are broken down into simpler components like glucose.

Glucose are then absorbed in the blood stream and ATP is produced by cellular respiration which gives energy.

2) Protein - Proteins are more complex than carbohydrates and hence it takes more time to break down. It basically acts as a fuel for repairing damaged tissues, cells and acts a great resource for metabolism, hence the energy given by protein is long lasting.
