Question
Answer
3 types of carbohydrates found in foods   Starch, Sugar, Fiber  
🗑
Define - Simple Carbohydrates   Monosaccharides - single sugars Disaccharides - double sugars  
🗑
Examples of simple carbohydrates ( single sugars)   Glucose, Fructose, Galactose  
🗑
GLUCOSE; When making glucose, where does the plant put the sun's energy?   Puts sun's energy in the bonds between the carbon atoms  
🗑
Glucose; Why does a plant need to make Glucose?   To get energy in a form it can use for it's own growth and later reproduction  
🗑
Glucose; Why is Glucose so important?   it's pretty much the only fuel for the brain and nervous system.  
🗑
Glucose; found in foods   Fruits, Vegetables, Honey, & High Fructose Corn Syrup ( HFSC)  
🗑
FRUCOTSE; Why does a plant need to make it?   It's the sweetest sugar and the sweetness attracts insects and animals, thereby playing a role in reproduction  
🗑
Fructose; What does our Liver do with Fructose?   It rearranges Fructose to make Glucose  
🗑
Fructose; Found in foods   Fruits, Vegetables, Honey & High Fructose Corn Syrup ( HFCS)  
🗑
GALACTOSE; Why DON'T plants need to make it?   because they don't make milk to feed their young  
🗑
What does our liver do with Galactose?   Takes the galactose it gets from drinking and digesting milk and rearranges it to make Glucose.  
🗑
What does our digestive system need to do to Monosaccharides in food before anything gets into our blood?   Nothing, they are already small enough to be absorbed.  
🗑
Is organic cane sugar more nutritious that High Fructose Corn Syrup?   No. Sugar is sugar  
🗑
Galactose in foods   Not in food alone, usually bound to other sugars  
🗑
3 Monosaccharides (single-sugars)   Glucose, Fructose, Galactose  
🗑
Simple Carbohydrates Disaccharide (double-sugars)   Maltose, Sucrose, Lactose  
🗑
MALTOSE; (Grains that have been sprouted)   1 glucose bonded to 1 glucose  
🗑
Maltose; Chemical Formula   C6 H12 06
