Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cooked rice is broken down into glucose molecules, which can be absorbed by the body through the small intestine. Sucrose and lactose are disaccharides that need to be broken down into their component monosaccharides (glucose and fructose for sucrose, glucose and galactose for lactose) before they can be absorbed. Ribose is a pentose sugar and not a component of rice.
