of carbohydrates. In order to perform our experiment we made use of water‚ glucose‚ sucrose‚ and starch. It was hypothesized that glucose‚ sucrose‚ then starch would all be used to produce energy during fermentation. Being that glucose is a simple sugar‚ or monosaccharide‚ we predicted that glucose would be fermented most quickly. This hypothesis was made based on the idea that glucose is the cell ’s main source of energy in aerobic cellular respiration. The first step of cellular respiration is glycolysis

Blood Sugar Insulin: Insulin is a protein hormone that facilitates the transfer of glucose from the blood into cells. Insulin lowers blood sugar by stimulating the liver to store glucose as glycogen. The release of insulin is nutrient-regulated – it is typically released after a meal.
