Question

What of the following terms describes how quickly glucose is absorbed from a food after ingestion, how high blood glucose rises as a result, and how quickly blood glucose returns to normal?

Answer 1

Answer:

Glycemic response

Explanation:

The glycemic response is the term that describes how quickly glucose is absorbed from a food after eating and how blood glucose rises as a result and how quickly glucose returns to normal.

The glycemic response is used as a way to classify foods based on their potential to raise glucose (blood sugar), since the glycemic response is a measure of the impact of a given food on the blood sugar level. Foods with faster rates of digestion and absorption of carbohydrates cause blood sugar levels to rise faster than those foods with a lower glycemic response, when glucose is released slowly into the blood.
