Question

What will happen, when glucose is administered orally?

NISHANTH · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: D
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Cellular Respiration
	**Related Topics**: Digestion, Absorption, Glucose Metabolism
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of human physiology, particularly how the body processes glucose.
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	Oral administration of glucose.
**Method & Steps**:
	1. Glucose is a simple sugar that does not require digestion.
		Reasoning: Glucose is a monosaccharide and therefore doesn't need to be broken down into smaller components by digestive enzymes.
	2. Glucose will be absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
		Reasoning: After oral intake, glucose passes from the gut into the circulatory system.
	3. Absorbed glucose is transported to cells throughout the body.
		Reasoning: The circulatory system delivers glucose to all cells.
	4. Glucose is utilized in cellular respiration to produce energy for the cells.
		Reasoning: In cellular respiration, glucose is broken down to produce ATP, which is the energy currency of the cell.
**Result**: The primary fate of glucose after oral administration is to be utilized in cellular respiration.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Excretion is the process of removing waste products from the body. While some glucose might be excreted in urine in cases of high blood glucose, it's not the primary fate of orally administered glucose. 
[B] :x: Digestion is the process of breaking down large food molecules into smaller absorbable units. Glucose, being a monosaccharide, does not need digestion.
[C] :x: Circulation is the movement of blood through the body, which carries glucose to the cells. While glucose does circulate, the primary fate is not just to be in circulation but to be used by cells.
[D] ✓: Respiration (specifically cellular respiration) is the process where glucose is broken down to produce energy, which is the main use of glucose in the body.
## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1. Confusing digestion with absorption: Digestion is the breaking down of food, while absorption is the movement of nutrients into the bloodstream.
		2. Thinking glucose is directly excreted: While it can happen under specific conditions, it is not the primary fate of glucose.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1. Remember the flow: Ingestion -> absorption -> circulation -> utilization (respiration).
		2. Cellular respiration is the key process where the body utilizes glucose for energy.
