Carbohydrates
Types of carbohydrates
Monosaccharide
Disaccharide s
Polysaccharides
Simplest form of carbohydrates with only one sugar unit
Monosaccharides
Three main sugar of monosaccharide
Glucose
Fructose
Galactose
Dextrose or grape sugar,only form one sugar
Used by the body to provide energy to fuel cellular processes; blood sugar
Glucose
Glucose present in urine
Glycosuria
Two important hormone
Glucagon and insulin
In pancreas to regulate blood glucose
Glucagon
Low in glucagon
Hypoglycemia
Naturally occurring hormone made by pancreas help body use of sugar for energy
Insulin
Low and insulin
Diabetes
The sweetest among sugar being twice as sweet as glucose
Found in fruits honey and corn syrup
Fructose
Obtained from milk and important component that can help identify the blood types
Galactose
The disorder in galactose
Galactosemia
Two monosaccharides join together
Soluble in water but cannot diffuse through the cell
Disaccharides
Three sugar in disaccharides
Sucrose
Lactose
Maltose
Table sugar or sugarcane combination of glucose and fructose
Sucrose
Milk and milk products combination of glucose and galactus
Lactose
Found in beer
composed of two glucose provide energy in germinating area
Maltose
Made up of repeating units of sugar joined together
Polysaccharides
