unit 19-issa Question and answers
correctly solved
carbohydrates and their chemical structure - correct answer ✔carbs
•are made up various collections of carbon hydrogen and oxygen molecules
and all carbs have a 2:1 ratio of hydrogen to oxygen.
because similar structures sugars fats and fibers are considered carbs
carbs are more readily used for energy production than fats/proteins
carbs = glucose
C6H12O6
what are three simple structures of carbs called - correct answer ✔glucose
principle circulating sugar in the blood and the major energy source of the
body
fructose
fruit sugar
galactose
a sugar of hexose class that is constituent of lactose and many
polysaccharides
these are called monosaccharides
, provide examples of carbs that are broken up into simple sugars into your
blood stream - correct answer ✔galactose/fructose are absorbed just fine but
are virtually absent from general circulation because
•first they're converted to glucose in the liver. Fructose 40-50 grams at a
sitting can be converted to triglycerides.
• second fructose is actually a primary source of energy and carbs for liver
glycogen replenishment. Doesn't matter what type of carbs you eat it gets
broken down into simple sugars.
what is the relationship of glucose uptake and insulin. - correct answer ✔in
muscle and fat tissue, glucose uptake is stimulated primarily by the hormone
insulin. Insulin triggers the migration of glucose transport proteins (members
of the GULT transporter family) to the surface of the cell for further glucose
uptake
what's overprocessed/refined carbs? how does each affect your body. -
correct answer ✔refined carbs/overprocessed cards
•white bread
•white pasta
•cookies
•pastries
•processed cereals
•and added sugars all of which are low in fiber and enter the body at a rapid
pace .
causes
•temporary elevations in blood sugar blood triglycerides levels, LDL
cholesterol, inflammation and insulin resistance
