What are complex carbohydrates? - ANSWER: Chains of more than two
monosaccharides
What are simple (CHO) sugars? - ANSWER: sugars composed of a single sugar
molecule or two joined sugar molecules
Name the categories of simple sugars - ANSWER: Monosaccharides and
disaccharides
What are monosaccharides? - ANSWER: Monosaccharides consist of a single sugar
molecule
Name the monosaccharide - ANSWER: glucose, fructose, and galactose
What monosaccharide is predominantly found in the blood? - ANSWER: Glucose
What are disaccharides? - ANSWER: disaccharides consist of two sugar molecules
chemically joined together
Name the disaccharides - ANSWER: sucrose, lactose, and maltose
Glucose: what category of CHO is it? - ANSWER: simple sugars monosaccharides
Do we find it in foods as glucose?If not in which form do we consume it? - ANSWER:
yes we do
Galactose: what category of CHO is it?
Do we find it in foods as galactose?
If not in which form do we consume it? - ANSWER: Simple sugar monosaccharides
and we find it bonded to glucose to form lactose
Fructose: what category of CHO is it? - ANSWER: simple sugar monosaccharides
Do we find it in foods as fructose?If not in which form do we consume it? - ANSWER:
yes
Define sugar alcohols and list the names of them? Where are they found in the food
supply. - ANSWER: sugar alcohols are compounds formed from monosaccharides by
replacing a hydrogen atom with a hydroxyl group and they are commonly used as
nutritive sweeteners
, Alpha bonds: What are they, were do we find them and are they easy to break
during digestion - ANSWER: chemical bonds linking two monosaccharides that can be
broken by human intestinal enzymes releasing the individual monosaccharides
maltose and sucrose contain alpha bonds
Beta bonds: What are they, were do we find them and are they easy to break during
digestion - ANSWER: chemical bonds linking two monosaccharides that cannot be
broken by the human intestinal enzymes cellulose contains beta bonds
Sucrose: what category of CHO, where is it found in the food supply and what
enzyme digests it - ANSWER: disaccharides its found in table sugar, honey, maple
syrup , fruits and vegetables
Lactose: what category of CHO, where is it found in the food supply and what
enzyme digests it - ANSWER: disaccharides it is found in milk
Maltose: what category of CHO, where is it found in the food supply and what
enzyme digests it - ANSWER: disaccharides and is a product of starch digestion
What is a condensation reaction and give a CHO example - ANSWER: chemically joins
two monosaccharides while removing an H from one sugar molecule and an OH from
the other to form water H2O
What is a hydrolysis reaction and give a CHO example - ANSWER: separates
disaccharides into monosaccharides the addition of a molecule of water splits the
bond between two sugar molecules providing the H and OH group necessary for the
sugar to exist as monosaccharides
Glucose is also called? - ANSWER: dextrose
Oligosaccharides: what are they, where are they found in the food supply and are
they digestible - ANSWER: short carbohydrate chains composed of 3 to 10 sugar
molecules they are found in plants and dried beans
Polysaccharides: what are they and where are they found - ANSWER: long
carbohydrate chains composed of more than 10 sugar molecules they can be straight
of branched
What are the subcategories of polysaccharides? - ANSWER: complex carbohydrates
Starch: what is it and what are the subcategories of starches. Give food examples -
ANSWER: the major storage form of carbohydrates in plants starch is composed of
long chains of glucose molecules in a straight (amylose) or branching (amylopectin)
arrangement
Amylose; What is it and give a food example that is high in amylose - ANSWER: a
straight chain polysaccharide composed of glucose units ex: wheat flour
