Carbohydrates

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are Carbohydrates major role?   Energy storage/regeneration structural material and molecular recognition/communications  
🗑
What makes up Carbs   Cx(H2O)y  
🗑
What are properties of Carbs?   -size base of carbon chain - location of CO group - number of sugar units - stereochemistry of compound  
🗑
How can we describe carbs?   3= trios 4= tetrose 5= pentose 6= hexose (most commonn)  
🗑
Define Aldose   Aldehyde functional group  
🗑
Define Ketose   Ketone functional group  
🗑
2 representations of structure   1. Fisher projection 2. Haworth projection  
🗑
Define Steroisomers   Central carbons and how the align  
🗑
2 possible arrangements of steroisomers   1. L = Left (HO) 2. D = Right (OH) (most common)  
🗑
Define Monosaccharide   simple sugar = can't be further hydrolized  
🗑
Define Disaccharide   Compound of 2 monosaccharides  
🗑
Define Oligosaccharide   Two to Ten  
🗑
Define Polysaccharide   Large numbers of monosaccharides  
🗑
Two main chemical properties of carbs   1. Reducing substances 2. Formation of glycosidaicbonds  
🗑
When making bonds   when bonded it is no longer a reducing substance  
🗑
Define absorption   1. Intestinal mucosa 2. Liver  
🗑
Define Galactose   Final phase of glucose  
🗑
Define Glycogen   Storage form of glucose (forms skeletal muscles)  
🗑
Define Glycolysis   the process by which glycogen or glucose is converted to G6P for entry into the glycolytic pathway to generate energy  
🗑
Define Glycogenesis   the process by which glucose is stated as glycogen if all glucose requirements are met. This is accomplished in the liver and muscles.  
🗑
Define Glyconeogenesis   The formation of glucose from noncarbohydrate source(fats and proteins)  
🗑
Define Lipogenesis   Conversion of fats to glucose for energy  
🗑
Define Lipolysis   Conversion of carbohydrates to fatty acids  
🗑
2 Pathways of Glycolysis   1. Emben-Myerhof Pathway 2. Hexose Monophosphate Shunt  
🗑
2 Primary regulators   1. Insulin 2. Glucagon  
🗑
What is the normal fasting glucose   70-105 mg/dL  
🗑
Define Insulin   Responsible for entry of glucose into the cell by making the cell wall more permeable to glucose. Secreted by Beta Cells and reduces plasma glucose  
🗑
Define Glucagon   Increases glucose levels in blood. Secreted by Alpha cells and stimulates glycogenesis and glyconeogenesis  
🗑
Name Secondary Hormones of Carb Metabolism   - Epinephrine - Glucocorticoids - ACTH and Growth Hormone - Thyroxine - Somatosatin  
🗑
Define Epinephrine   Produced by Adrenal Medulla. Inhibits insulin secretion. Increases plasma glucose. Increases glycogenlysis. Promotes lipolysis.  
🗑
Define Glucocoricoids   - Corisol - Released by adrenal cortex - increases plasma glucose - decreases intestinal entry into cell - increases glyconeogenesis,liver glycogen and lypolysis  
🗑
Define ACTH and Growth Hormone   - Released from anterior pituitary - increases plasma glucose  
🗑
Define Thyroxine   - Produced in Thyroid Gland - Increases plasma glucose levels - Increases glycogenolysis and absorption of glucose.  
🗑
Define Somatostatin   -produced in delta cells - increases plasma glucose levels by inhibition of insulin  
🗑
Define Hyperglycemia   -Increases Plasma glucose levels  
🗑
Define Diabetes Mellitus   A group of chronic, heterogenous group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia.  
🗑
Types of Diabetes Mellitus   Type 1 - Insulin Dependent Type 2 - Non-Insulin Dependent Gestational - During pregnancy  
🗑
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus   -Destruction of B-cells -Children and adolescents -Abrupt onset -Polyuria, Polydipsia, Polyphagia  
🗑
Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus   -Insulin Resistance -Obese people -Generally Milder  
🗑
Gestational Diabetes   -During Pregnancy -Screening for High risk mothers -*see Big Babies  
🗑
Pathophysiology of Diabetes   -Hyperglycemia -Glucosuria -Ketoacidosis (Type 1) -Hyperinsulinemia (Type 2) -Nonketotic hyperosmolar state(Type 2)  
🗑
Diagnosis of Diabetes   Testing is performed based on high risk criteria  
🗑
Define Hypoglycemia   -Decreased plasma glucose levels -very sensitive -glucose levels of 50-55 mg/dL or lower manifest symptoms  
🗑


   

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.
