CARBOHYDRATES - Answer-they are either aldehyde or ketone
derivatives of polyhydroxy alcohols.
polyhydroxy alcohols. - Answer-CARBOHYDRATES You can say they result from the
oxidation of?
CARBON, HYDROGEN and OXYGEN. - Answer-The chemical nature of a
carbohydrate is they are organic compounds that always
consist of the three elements:
proportion - Answer-In a carbohydrate Hydrogen and Oxygen are always found to be in
the same _______ as they are in water
hydroxyl (-OH) and aldehyde (CHO). - Answer-An aldose is a sugar in which the
functional groups are
ALDOSE SUGARS - Answer-Are those carbohydrates that are derivatives of aldehydes
(CHO)
KETOSE SUGARS - Answer-Are those carbohydrates that are derived from ketones
(C=O).
hydroxyl (-OH) and a ketone (carbonyl) (C=O). - Answer-A ketose is a sugar whose
functional groups are
GREEN PLANTS - Answer-Carbohydrates are produced by
CHLOROPHYLL - Answer-Green plants contain
CHLOROPHYLL - Answer-_________ which synthesizes carbohydrates from CO2
and H2O
photosynthesis or the plant phase. - Answer-Carbohydrates are produced through a
process called
oxidation or the animal phase. - Answer-The opposing reaction to photosynthesis is
, Photosynthesis - Answer-______ is carried out by the plants which take in CO2 from the
air and H2O from the soil, the chlorophyll in the green leaves make simple sugar and
oxygen is
returned to the air
OXIDATION (animal phase) - Answer-We ingest the simple sugar through our nutrition
and breathe oxygen from the
air. We then metabolize the sugar and give off carbon dioxide and water as
waste products and utilize the energy obtained to carry on our normal activities.
saccharide - Answer-All carbohydrates are made up of units of sugar called?
monosaccharides - Answer-Carbohydrates containing only one unit of sugar are called?
disaccharides - Answer-Carbohydrates containing two sugar units of sugar are called
simple sugars or simple carbohydrates. - Answer-Carbohydrates
containing only one unit of sugar ("monosaccharides") or two sugar units of sugar
("disaccharides") are known as
complex sugars or complex carbohydrates. - Answer-Those
carbohydrates which contain many sugar units or polysaccharides are known as?
Monosaccharides - Answer-are the simplest carbohydrates which contain only one (1)
saccharide (sugar) unit and cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller groups.
Monosaccharides - Answer-They can immediately enter the
bloodstream so they tend to cause a rapid rise in blood sugar which is ideal for
energy, but not so good for appetite and blood glucose control.
three to seven - Answer-Although monosaccharides contain only one sugar unit they
may contain from
____ carbons in their structure.
PENTOSES - Answer-are 5 carbon monosaccharides or sugar molecules.
HEXOSES - Answer-are 6 carbon monosaccharides.
Monosaccharides - Answer-These are the ones we are most concerned with because
they are the
ones with the greatest significance to the body.
Monosaccharides - Answer-They have to do with our nutrition and are an excellent
source of energy
by providing about 4 Calories per gram.
They include glucose, galactose and fructose.
