Solution

The likely cause of the increase in blood glucose levels in the first 30 minutes is B. Glucose being absorbed from the small intestine. This is because the person was given a drink of glucose at time zero, and the glucose from this drink would be absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine, causing an increase in blood glucose levels.

Why would measuring blood glucose levels in an individual 15 to 60 minutes after they drink a liter of milk indicate whether they are able to digest lactose?Group of answer choicesWhen lactose enters the large intestine, glucose is digested by bacteria and then enters the bloodstream.When lactose is digested by lactase, the glucose that is produced enters the bloodstream from the small intestine.The fats and proteins in milk are digested by the body, causing glucose levels in the blood to increase.When lactose is digested by lactase in the small intestine, different cells in the body start releasing glucose into the bloodstream.
