Whats the function of carbs in animals diet?
– CHO are not an essential nutrient
* Glucose is too important to leave it up to dietary choice
* Can synthesize glucose from carbon precursors (gluconeogenesis)
Whats the major component of plant tissues?
Carbohydrates
Comprise up to 70% or more of dry matter of forages
Make up less than 1% of the weight of animals
Whats the same as starch?
carbohydrate
What are carbs made up of molecules called?
Sugars (saccharides)
Whats saccharides classified by ?
- Classified according to the number
of monomeric (sugar) molecules: - Monosaccharides - 1 unit
- Disaccharides - 2 units
- Oligosaccharides - 3 to 10 units
- Polysaccharides - Greater than 10
units - Most plants contain different types of
carbohydrates than animals
Whats the formula for monosaccharides :
CnH2nOn
How are monosaccharides classified by ?
the number of carbon atoms
– 3-C =triose
– 4-C =tetrose
– 5-C =pentose
– 6-C =hexose
nutritionally important
Sugars that contain four or more carbons exist primarily in cyclic form
Where is the sugar that contains for or more carbon exist
Primarily in cyclic form
What is the primary source of toast ?

What’s the only difference between Glucose and Galactose ?
the location of the H and OH
Where is galactose found?
Component of milk sugar (lactose)
May be metabolised to glucose
Its found as part of lactose in milk
Where is fructose found?
75% of the sugars in honey
Found in fruits and cane sugar
Its found in fruits, vegetables and honey
In fructose, each of these molecules can exist in two forms (mirror images) what are they called?
D or L optical isomers.
The body can only use one of these forms, the D isomer.
Name the 3 monosaccharides:
Glucose
Galactose
Fructose
Why is it sometimes difficult to tell glucose and galactose apart?
Because they share similar 6-sided hexagonal structures, they can be difficult to tell apart. Fructose 5-sided pentagon stands out.
