Carbohydrates Flashcards
Hydrates of aldehyde or ketone derives based on the location of CO functional group
Carbohydrates
Composed of monosaccharide,polysaccharide,oligosaccharides,disaccharides
Carbohydrates
Simplest carbohydrates
Glycol aldehyde
Glucose metabolism generates
Pyruvic acid, lactic acid, acetyl coenzyme A
The complete oxidation of glucose yields
Carbon dioxide,water,adenosine triphosphate
Reducing substance/sugars
Glucose,maltose,galactose,fructose,lactose
These presence will make glucose an active reducing substance
Double bond,negative charge in enol anion
most non-reducing sugar (does not contain aldehyde/ketone gtoup
sucrose
both endocrine and exocrine organ in control of carbohydrate metabolism
pancreas
why pancreas is an endocrine gland?
it secretes the hormones’ insulin, glucagon and somatostatin from different cells residing in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas
why pancreas is an exocrine gland?
it produces and secretes an amylase responsible for the breakdown of ingested complex carbohydrates.
the primary hormone responsible for the entry of glucose into the cell
insulin
synthesized by the ______ of islets of insulin (insulin)
B-cells
only hormone that decreases glucose levels (hypoglycemic agent)
insulin
primary hormone responsible for increasing glucose – hyperglycemic agent.
glucagon
