Please I need help with this question ASAP:
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

After having a carbohydrate rich meal concentration of some hormones, especially insulin change in your body. Insulin promotes the uptake of glucose by cells(particularly muscle cells, adipocytes, liver cells). It also increases the rate of glycolysis and glycogenesis and decreases the rate of gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis.

These important metabolic pathways cause burning up glucose to make ATP that all cells in our body need and also storing it in the form of glycogen in the liver which is a very important food storage. Metabolism of carbohydrates also causes fat to be deposited in adipocytes which is basically why we have stuff like keto diets(no or very little carbohydrates and mainly fats consumed) for losing weight!
