GLYCEMIC INDEX
• It is a ranking scale of foods that have carbohydrate,
according to how they affect the blood glucose levels
(Fontana & Partridge, 2015).
• Foods with low GI are digested, absorbed and metabolized
slowly that causes slow rise in the blood glucose levels. It
is the reverse in high GI foods.

C. ELEGAN MODEL
• These are organisms that are used for investigating
biological functions in a human because they have similar
biological activities like humans, have low cost of
maintenance and has an ease of genetic manipulation.
• C elegans are roundworms that are in the category of
nematodes.
