Question

2. Muscle cells serve as a reservoir for which of the following?

1.  Fructose
2.  Glucose
3.  Galactose
4.  Raffinose

Answer 1

To get this answer, examine first which of these products are simple sugars vs compound sugars. A compound sugar is not going to be used as a storage method since it will be harder for your body to break it down and use it as energy later. Think of how quickly a muscle used energy. This narrows you down to fructose and glucose.

Fructose is primarily a sugar that naturally occurs in fruit, he de the name. Glucose is the primary energy source our body uses. So you see, the answer would be glucose!
