A patient visits their doctor because they are having trouble digesting complex carbohydrates. The doctor learns that her patient runs 5-10 miles 5 days a week and drinks very little water. The doctor suggested (before doing any major testing) that the patient begin drinking plenty of water each day. The patient visits the doctor a week later and has no problems with digestion. Why did the doctor suggest such a simple change in habit for her patient? (AKS 1a)
Water is needed to break down polymers into monomers thus helping to maintain homeostasis.

The Dacula HS soccer team stopped for a pre-game meal 3 hours before kicking off at the State Championship. The meal had plenty of carbohydrates for the athletes. During the 80 minutes of running each player used up all of their blood glucose to make energy. Luckily their daily training diet consisted of carbohydrates that are stored in their muscle and liver to be broken into glucose. What is the name of this stored animal starch? (AKS 1a)
Glycogen
