Which statement
is FALSE concerning diet and
respiration? [8b-4]

A.

B.

C.

D.

? chemical energy stored

in fibre cannot be used
because the fibre cannot be
digested

slower than glucose because
starch has to be digested
before it is absorbed into the
blood stream

absorbed into the blood

stream
