Biochemistry Carbs Part I (18%) Flashcards
Ketone is
Multiple Hydroxyl Groups (Also has doubled bonded O)
Carbs are stored as
Coenzymes, RNA, DNA
Simple Carbs are
sugars with one or two single sugars
Complex Carbs have
many sugar units
Sorbitol is
Sugar alcohol from glucose and converted to frustose
Sorbitols are found in
berries, cherries, plums and pears
Sorbitols are used to
make sweetners-excess can cause diaherra
Polysaccharides are
Complex CHOs made of many single sugar units
Carbs are oxidized through the
Citric acid cycle (Krebs)
Excess Carbs are converted to
glycogen
The Hormonal changes carbs can have
Raises blood glucose levles or lower blood glucose levels
What are the big 4 catabolic pathways Carbs are used in
Glycolysis
Pyruvate Oxidation
Citric Acid Cycle
Oxidative Phosphorlaytion
The big 4 Pathways depends on
concentration of:
ATP
ADP
AMP
If ATP is high, the big 4
are low
If ATP is low , the big 4 are`
accelerated
