16
Q

Functions of Carbohydrate

A
  • Provide energy
  • Maintain blood glucose
  • Spare protein
  • Prevents ketosis
17
Q

Goal for blood glucose is _____ mg/dl

18
Q

Deficiency of lactase, the enzyme that digest lactose

A

Lactose Intolerance

19
Q

This refers to the measured upward rise, peaks, and falls of blood glucose following consumption of high-carbohydrate food

A

Glycemic index

20
Q

This adjust GI by taking into account the amount of carbohydrate consumed in a typical serving of food

A

Glycemic Load

21
Q

This test is given by reducing sugars. The formation of RED PRECIPITATE confirms the presence of reducing sugars.

A

Fehling’s Test

22
Q

This test is used to determine the presence of carbohydrates or sugars in the substance.

A

Molisch’s Test

23
Q

This test is to detect the presence of complex carbohydrates. The yellow-orange iodine will turn blue-black as it reacts with starch and the iodine solution will show no reaction with simple carbohydrates or sugars.

24
This test is used to test for simple carbohydrates. It also allows us to detect the presence of sugars with a free aldehyde or ketone group.
Benedict's Test
25
This test is a qualitative laboratory test used to distinguish between an aldehyde and a ketone.
Tollen's Test
26
This test is used to detect the presence of monosaccharide (reducing) sugars in solution.
Barfoed's Test
27
Test that is a color reaction specific for ketoses.
Seliwanoff's Test
28
This is used to distinguish between pentoses and hexoses.
Bial's Test
29
A test where the ketoses and aldoses react with phenylhydrazine to produce a phenylhydrazone which further reacts with another two molecules of phenylhydrazine to yield osazone.
Osazone Test
30
Flower-shaped crystals are produced by _________
maltose
