a simple carb.

primary is sucrose(made out of glucose and fructose)

CH20

ring in solution

a carb made of multiple units of glucose

highly branched structure

aka; animal starch 

storage form of glucose

stored in liver and muscles 

a carb made of multiple units of glucose

attached in form body can digest

complex carb. 

substances in plant food that are not digested by the processes that take place in stomach and small intestines

add bulk to feces

those found naturally in foods: dietary fiber 

process by which plants use energy from sun to sythesize energy-yielding compds such as glucose

formula: 

six co2 plus six h20 yields glucose(c6h1206) plus six o2 

simple sugar units(mono means one) that serve as the basic unit of all sugar structures

ex: glucose fructose and galactose 

major monosaccaride found in the body

aka: dextrose

six carbon(c6h1206)

found in blood and table sugar(in which its bonded to fructose)

glucose comes from which of the following?

starches,

fructose,

table sugar(sucrose) 

what is the purpose of glucose

six carbon monosaccaride that usually exists in a ring form; found in fruits and honey; fruit sugar

fruit sugar

because it is found in fruits and honey 

use of high fructose corn syrup 

bonded to glucose in lactose(disaccaride)

sucrose, lactose, and maltose

formed when two monosaccharides combine

all of them contain glucose 

glucose bonded to glucose

results when starch is broken down to just two glucose molecules bonded together

role in beer and liquior industry

highly branched; provides many ends in enzyme action and is therefore more easily digested than amylose

120

 1800

in salad dressings, frozen desserts, jams, and jellies

some forms of hemicelluloses actually fall into this category as well 

table sugar, hoiney, jam, jelly, fruit, and plain baked potatoes

richest sources of carbs, carbs deliver most of their calories

moderate amount of carbs. 

the carb content is diluted by protein, or fat 

is the percentage of calories from carbs more important than the total amount of carbs in a food when planning a healthy high-carb. diet?

pecentage of calories carbs of higher importance than amount of carbs? 

yes

percentage of calories carbs of higher importance than amount carbs 

white bread, soft drinks, cookies and cakes, sugars/syrups/jams, potatoes

SHOULD INCLUDE, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables 

it breaks down much of the starch into glucose-some of the glucose is converted by enzymes into fructose

usually as sweet as sucrose 

maple syrup made?

what is most pancake syrup? 

by boiling down and concentrating sap

primarily corn syrup and high fructose corn syrup 

a product of plant nectar that has been altered by bee enzymes

break down sucrose into fructose and glucose

offers some nutritional value as other simple sugars

it can contain sporers of clostridium botulinum

cause foodborne illness

does not cause same problem in adults because of the more acidic environment 

ketosis is not commonly seen

insulin therapy can be used but is often not required

often associated with obesity 

insulin dependent

immune system attack of pancreas:cause 

diabetes in pregnancy, treated with insulin regimen and diet resolves after baby delivery

at risk for developing type 2 diabetes later in life 

low blood glucose that follows a meal high in simple sugars, with corresponding symptoms of irratibility, headache, nervousness, sweating, and confusion

postprandial hypoglycemia 

it results from inefficient metabolism of fat, which means that a diet is not proper(usually not enough carbs)

fats dont break down completely and instead form ketone bodies-disturs doy's normal acid-base balance and leads to other health issues

high blood glucose-125 mg per 100 ml
