Carbohydrates

Question 1

compounds composed of
carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen arranged as
monosaccharides.
Originally called saccharides (a Greek word,
meaning sugars)

Answer 1

Carbohydrates

Question 2

1 sugar unit

Answer 2

monosaccharides

Question 3

2 sugar units

Answer 3

disaccharides

Question 4

3 to 10 sugar units

Answer 4

Oligosaccharides

Question 5

More than 10 sugar units

Answer 5

Polysaccharide

Question 6

sugar, starches, dextrin and glycogen

Answer 6

Digestible

Question 7

galactogens, mannosans,
inulin and pentosan

Answer 7

Partially digestible

Question 8

cellulose and hemicellulose only
digestible carbohydrates supply energy upon
complete hydrolysis (1 gram yields 4 kcal)

Answer 8

Indigestable

Question 9

Are simple sugar units that compromise the
general formula in a single ring. In this case,
they form the structure. It is divided by their
arrangements of atoms that may counter the
level of sweetness: glucose, fructose, and
galactose.

Answer 9

Monosaccharides

Question 10

also known as dextrose or grape sugar or
physiologic sugar or blood sugar
most important sugar in human metabolism

Answer 10

Glucose

Question 11

Also known as Fruit Sugar
Sweetest of all sugars

Answer 11

Fructose

Question 12

Also known as milk sugar
hydrolyzed from lactose or milk sugar

Answer 12

Galactose

Question 13

Five-carbon chains of monosaccharides found
in nucleic acids of meat and seafood’s in bound
form
* In the body, they are important components
of nucleic acids and some co-enzymes

Answer 13

Pentose

Question 14

pairs of monosaccharides
linked together. Types of disaccharides are the
following: maltose, sucrose, and lactose.

Answer 14

Disaccharide

Question 15

Also called malt sugartwo glucose units that are produced from
starch digestion
found mostly in grains such as barley

Answer 15

Maltose

Question 16

Also called table sugar, cane sugar and beet
sugar
Abundant in molasses, maple syrup, sorghum
and some fruits
Hydrolyzed into one molecule of glucose and
one molecule of fructose

Answer 16

Sucrose

Question 17

Also known as milk sugar
Found in milk and milk products
Hydrolyzed to glucose and galactose slowly
digested sugar compared to other disaccharides
Least sweet among common sugars

Answer 17

Galactose
