16
Q

Hydrolysis

A
  • breaks a disaccharide in two using water

- H20 splits

17
Q

What are the two polysaccharides?

A

Glycogen(animal

Starch(plant)

18
Q

Glycogen

A
  • not a significant food source

- not a dietary CHO

19
Q

Starch

A
  • storage from of energy in plants

- many glucose units

20
Q

Fibers and their difference from starch

A
  • structure part of plant

- differ from starches- bond between monosaccharaides can’t be broken by digestive enzymes

21
Q

Points on Soluble Fibers

A
  • forms gel
  • easily digested by bacteria in colon
  • oats, barley, legumes, citrus fruits
  • protect against heart disease
  • protect against diabetes
22
Q

Points on Insoluble Fibers

A
  • don’t dissolve in water
  • do not for gels
  • less fermented
  • whole grains: brans and veggies
  • promote regular bowel movements
  • alleviate constipation
  • prevent diverticular disease
23
Q

What does the liver convert galactose and fructose into?

A

glucose

24
Q

Where does digestion of carbs begin?

A

the Mouth

25
Q

Digestion Points on the Mouth

A
  • salivary amylase from saliva
  • hydrolysis starch to shorter polysaccharides
  • very little digestion occur here
26
Q

Digestion Points On Stomach

A
  • stomach acid and protein digesting enzymes inactivate amylase
  • juices contain no digestive enzymes to digest CHO
  • Role of fiber
  • lingers, delays gastric emptying, satiety
27
Q

Where does most carbohydrate digestion take place?

A

-small intestine

28
Q

Pancreatic Amylase

A

comes through pancreatic duct and breaks down polysacchs to shorter glucose chains

29
Q

What are the specific disaccharide enzymes?

A
  • maltase
  • sucrose
  • lactase
30
Q

Points on Large Intestine

A

fibers- attract H20, soften stools for passing

  • bacteria ferment some fiber _____H20 gas, short chain FAS
  • short chain fa can be used by colon for energy
