- this can affect protein status
what is the primary fuel source during acute stress? - ANSWER -
glucose, which can affect protein status
what happens to excess dietary glucose? - ANSWER a)can be
converted to glycogen in the liver and sent to muscles for storage
b) can be converted to fat in the liver and sent to adipose tissue

, explains why they are considered food for microbes
examples of oligosaccharides - ANSWER -fructans=fructose molecules
s/a inulin

-raffinose sugars
raffinose sugars - ANSWER -trisaccharides of glucose, fructose and
galactose
-in legumes and cruciferous veggies
polysaccharides are... - ANSWER -complex carbs with 1000's of carb
subunits
what are the polysaccharides - ANSWER -starch and fiber
starch - ANSWER -glucose only
-amylose and amylopectin
amylose - ANSWER unbranched starch
amylopectin - ANSWER -branch chained starch
amylopectin vs amylose - ANSWER -amylases move sequentially from
the ends of chain, t/f branched chains have more places where amylase
can start, t/f making blood glucose rise quicker
-explains why amylopectin has a higher glycemic index
fiber is.. - ANSWER indigestible by human amylase
insoluble fiber - ANSWER -not readily fermentable
provides bulk to help you poop
ex. cellulose
-has no influence on glycemic index
