The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain is molecular oxygen. Electron transport chains are used for extracting energy via redox reactions from sunlight in photosynthesis or, such as in the case of the oxidation of sugars, cellular respiration.
On their website, the American Diabetes Association directs diabetics to eat between 45-60 grams of carbohydrates at each meal. Assuming a person eats three meals a day, this advice works out to telling diabetics to eat a minimum of 135 grams to a maximum of 180 grams of carbohydrates per day.
A 2,000-calorie diet calls for 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates. If you require 2,500 calories per day youâd need 281 to 406 grams of carbs, and if you consume 3,000 calories a day you should aim for 338 to 488 grams of carbohydrates.
