53
refers to the mixed combination of solute and | solvent (hot chocolate or salt water).
solution
54
_____ is a molecule that breaks up into individual ions when placed into water. Because the molecule separates into ions, _____ can often help generate and play a role in electrical signals within the body. Electrolytes are essential for nerve and muscle functions. The most common ions are sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, and chlorine ions.
electrolytes
55
the two types of electrolytes
acids and bases
56
___ are electrolytes that release hydrogen ions when placed into water. They are called “Hydrogen Donors” since they add hydrogens to the fluid. An example is HCl. they increase amount of free hydrogen ions in the fluid
acids
57
___ are electrolytes that accept hydrogen ions when placed in water. decrease hydrogen ions in the fluid
bases

monosaccharides
67
three of the most common monosaccharides are ___,___,and gluctose.
fructose, galactose
68
is similar to glucose, it varies only in the location of one OH group. Although it is similar to glucose, it is not easily used by our bodies but can be easily converted to glucose.
galactose
69
the third important monosaccharide. It is the sugar found in fruit and honey. It, too, gets converted into glucose in our bodies and then used to make energy.
fructode
70
sucrose,lactose, and maltose are _____. used primarily for energy
disaccharides
71
a polysaccharide made of sugars but used by plants for strength, support, and structure. We do not have the enzymes to digest cellulose, so we consume it as dietary fiber (roughage), which is beneficial for colon health.
cellulose (polysaccharide)
72
____ are polysaccharides used by plants for the storage of sugars for energy at a later time. When we consume them, we are able to digest them into single monosaccharides and obtain all of the energy they contain.
starches
