Carbohydrates

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Carbohydrate Composition   -made of C, H, O [roughly Cn(H2O)n]  
🗑
Carbohydrates in Feed   -primary component in livestock feeds/largest part of animal's food supply :present in forages, grains, & oilseed meals :generally cheapest source of available energy :generally main source of energy  
🗑
Where are Carbohydrates created   plants-photosynthesis -6CO2 + 6H2O + Solar Energy -> C6H12O6  
🗑
Monosaccharide   -glucose -fructose -galactose -mannose -arabinose -xylose  
🗑
Disaccharide   -sucrose -maltose -celloboise -lactose  
🗑
Polysaccharide   -starch -fiber -glycogen  
🗑
Starch   -plant energy storage -major component of livestock diets (cereal grains & tubers) -a non-structural carbohydrate -highly digestible -composed of glucose units  
🗑
Fiber   -cellulose(glucose units), hemicellulose(mixed sugars), pectin, fructan, etc. -in plant cell walls (lignin) -a structural carbohydrate -non-digestible (requires microbial enzymes-digest beta linkages)  
🗑
Glycogen   -animal "starch" -produced in muscle and liver -carbohydrate reserve in the animal body -hydrolyzes to glucose  
🗑
Effects of Maturation on Grasses   -Concentration of NDF and Lignin increases -CP decreases  
🗑
Lignin   -not a carbohydrate (part of plant structure/considered with fiber) -mostly indigestible by livestock and microbes -reduces digestibility of fiber -increases as plants mature  
🗑
Pectin   -considered with fiber -located in matrix in plant cell walls -soluble and easily fermented  
🗑
Carbohydrate Summary   -organic nutrient -provides most of the energy in livestock diets -sugars and starches(digested or fermented) -fiber(fermented to VFA by microbes) -Ligin(not a carbohydrate, reduces digestibility of fiber)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
