Biological Molecules (Carbohydrates)

Question 1

3 Types of Carbohydrates

Answer 1

Sugar, Startches, Fiber

Question 2

Function of Sugar

Answer 2

Quickly converted into energy found in soda, cookies, juice, and more.

Question 3

Function of Fiber

Answer 3

Cannot be digested or used for energy found in beans, legumes, nuts, seeds, and more.

Question 4

Function of Starches

Answer 4

Takes longer to convert into energy found in bread pasta, rice, and more.

Question 5

3 Main Types of Carbohydrates

Answer 5

Monosaccharides = Simple Sugars = Galactose, Glucose, Fructose
Disaccharides = Double Sugars, Disaccharides = Lactose, Sucrose, Maltose,
Complex Sugars = Polysaccharides = Whole Grain Foods & Startchy Vegetables

Question 6

Monosaccharides Breakdown

Answer 6

Glucose is a simple sugar, which is made in photosynthesis, used in respiration and transported in blood.

Question 7

Disaccharides Breakdown

Answer 7

Sucrose is a double sugar molecule made up of two molecules of simple sugars joined by a chemical bond.

Question 8

Polysaccharides Breakdown

Answer 8

joining simple sugar molecules together by chemical bonds. cellulose and starch = examples of complex sugars.

Question 9

First Type of Complex Sugar

Answer 9

Cellulose found in cell walls maintains shape because of strength and tolerates turgor pressure (the pushing on the walls by the full central vacuoles)

Question 10

Second type of Complex Sugar

Answer 10

Plant cells can change glucose into starch.
Plants store starch as an energy store.

Question 11

Third Type of Complex Sugar

Answer 11

Glycogen (sometimes called animal starch) is made from glucose by animals as a store of energy in the liver and muscles.

Question 12

What are Carbohydrates made of

Answer 12

Hydrogen, Oxygen, and Carbon
