17
Q

Amylose

A

Unbranched chains of glucose

18
Q

Amylopectin

A

Branched chains of glucose

19
Q

Glycogen

A

Polysaccharide

Storage form of glucose (energy) in the animal body
Composed of only glucose molecules (highly branched)

20
Q

Fibers

A

Polysaccharides

Structural parts of plants
Found in all plant-derived foods
indigestible by body enzymes

21
Q

Cellulose

A

Apple skin
Most abundant carbohydrate
Glue of the plant world :DDDD

22
Q

Alpha (a) bonds

A

Between glucose molecules in starch.
Easily broken by mammalian digestive enzymes

23
Q

Beta (B) bonds

A

In fibers.
Indigestible by mammalian digestive enzymes.
Gut microbiota can break em down.

24
Q

Condensation reaction

A

Reactions that combine simple sugars to make bigger ones

25
Q

Hydrolysis reaction

A

Breaks poly/disaccharides down into single sugars

26
Q

Microvilli

A

Secrete enzymes to complete the CHO digestion

27
Q

Lactose intolerance

A

Inability or insufficient ability to digest lactose

happens naturally (not a disease)

28
Q

Step 1 of Carb digestion

A

The action of salivary amylase in the mouth begins to digest starch to shorter glucose chains.

29
Q

Step 2 of Carb digestion

A

As soon as food reaches the stomach, stomach acid inactivates the amylase

30
Q

Step 3 of Carb Digestion

A

In the small intestine, pancreatic amylase continues
the digestion of starch to maltose. Specific enzymes
produced by the microvilli digest the 3 disaccharides.

31
Q

Galactosemia

A

Condition in which the body can’t metabolize galactose to glucose

32
Q

Preferred fuel for the brain, nervous system, fetus, and placenta, and only fuel for red blood cells?

A

Glucose

33
Q

How is glucose used by cells?

A

energy needs
Stored as glycogen
Converted to fat

34
Q

What does Liver do in metabolism?

A

Converts fructose and galactose to glucose

35
Q

Glucose levels ___ after eating

A

Rise

36
Q

Glucose levels ___ between meals

A

fall

37
Q

Insulin

A

Moves glucose from blood into cells
Stimulates liver and muscle to store glucose as glycogen
Stimulates conversion of excess glucose to fat

38
Q

Glucagon

A

Breaks down glycogen to glucose
If no glucose available, stimulates the synthesis of glucose from protein in the liver

39
Q

Epinephrine, Norepinephrine, Cortisol

A

make u adrenal mode bcuz release glucose go Ahhhh crazy

40
Q

Diabetes

A

Chronic disease when the body is unable to regulate glucose levels

Pancreas does not make enough insulin so the body is not able to use insulin effectively.
