Question

question:
ronald consumed a meal of spaghetti and didnt exercise. what will his body do with the glucose he has consumed?

answer options:
select one of four
store it as calories until he uses it
use it all in his sleep
store it permanently as fat
store it as glycogen and then excrete it

Explanation:

1. Analyze "Use it all in his sleep": Sleep has low energy needs, so the body can't use all glucose then. Eliminate this.
2. Analyze "Store it permanently as fat": The body first stores excess glucose as glycogen (in liver/muscles) and only converts to fat when glycogen stores are full, not "permanently" immediately. Eliminate this.
3. Analyze "Store it as glycogen and then excrete it": Glycogen is used for energy, not excreted. Excretion of glucose (in urine) is abnormal (like in diabetes), not a normal process here. Eliminate this.
4. Analyze "Store it as calories until he uses it": Calories are a measure of energy. The body stores excess glucose (from the spaghetti, as Ronald didn't exercise) as glycogen (a form of stored energy/calories) to use later when energy is needed. This matches how the body manages glucose when not using it immediately.

Answer:

Store it as calories until he uses it
