Ch4 Flashcards
Glucose
Monosacchride
food source-plants (photosynthesis)
Glucose digestion
final product small intestine (mucosa cells)
Lactose (milk sugar)
dissachride
made up of glucose + galactose
Lactose (Milk sugar)
food source- breast & cow milk
Lactose digestion
disaccharide
digestion
small intestine
Fructose (fruit sugar
monosacchride
food source- fruit vegetables
Fructose absorbed
Monosacchride
Via facilitated diffusion (slower abso)
Small intestine-> mucosa cells
converted to glucose in liver
Glucose and galactose absorbed
Via active transport
Maltose (Malt sugar)
Dissachride
glucose & glucose
food source- byproduct of fermented process
Maltose
Glucose + glucose
maltase bdown into monosacchride in small intestine
Sucrose
Dissachride
Glucose + fructose
food slource- sugar cane, honey, table sugar
Starch
Polysacchride
(amylose and amylopectin)
food source- wheat, white rice, legumes
Starch digestion
Polysacchride
Salivary amylase ->amylose to starch
amylopectin-> shorter chains
Glycogen
Polyssachride
storage form of glucose in animals
stored in liver and muscles
not common dietary source of carbs
Glycogen
Polysacchride
food source animal
