produce glucose
27
28
What are carbohydrates primarily used for?
Energy production
29
How are carbohydrates categorized?
Into two types: * Simple carbohydrates * Complex carbohydrates
30
What is a characteristic of simple carbohydrates?
Provide quick energy and are easy to break down
31
What is a characteristic of complex carbohydrates?
Have more monomers in their polymer structure
32
what are the 4 steps to getting energy out of carbs?
1. broken down with hydrolysis 2. Absorbed into bloodstream in the intestines 3. Goes into the cell 4. Used to create energy to use or store
33
34
Unused glucose is stored as?
* Glycogen (in animals) * Starch (in plants) ## Footnote Glycogen is primarily stored in the liver and regulated by insulin.
35
What regulates the storage of glycogen in animals?
Insulin ## Footnote Insulin helps to lower blood sugar levels.
36
How does insulin lower blood sugar?
* Promoting glucose uptake by cells * Directing the liver to store excess glucose as glycogen ## Footnote Insulin plays a crucial role in maintaining blood sugar homeostasis.
37
Fill in the blank: Unused glucose is stored as _______ in animals.
Glycogen
38
Fill in the blank: Unused glucose is stored as _______ in plants.
Starch
39
which can be used for more energy: simple or complex carbs?
complex
40
through what process does yeast make dough rise?
fermentation
41
what is the byproduct of fermentation that causes the balloon to expand?
C02
42
what are the reactants of fermentation?
glucose
43
what are the products of fermentation?
ATP, 2 C02, Ethanol
44
What molecule is necessary for your body to get energy from food
oxygen
45
How does the body get oxygen?
respiration (O2 in, CO2 out)
46
Define cellular respiration
Release of energy from a cell
47
What are the 2 types of cellular respiration
Aerobic and anaerobic
48
What is aerobic respiration?
process of turning molecules into ATP using oxygen
49
What is the main cell organelle for aerobic respiration
mitochondria

What are the reactants of fermentation?
Glucose
56
What are the products of fermentation?
2 Ethanol, 2 CO2, 2 ATP
57
When running, you don't get enough oxygen from breathing. How does your body cope?
- Muscles are short of oxygen - Aerobic to anaerobic respiration - causes formation of lactic acid
