Digestion maths Flashcards
3 mono sacchardes
glucose
fructose
galactose
where are glucose, fructose, galactose absorbed
small intestines
glucose + glucose =
maltose
glucose + fructose =
sucrose
glucose + galactose =
lactose
3 disaccharides
maltose
sucrose
lactose
starch digested to monosaccharide units =
glucose
monosaccharide units of glycogen =
glucose
can cellulose be digested
no]
what is cellulose
indigestible fibre
3 polysaccharides
starch
glycogen
cellulose
functions of carbohydrates
energy
connective tissues
cell to cell recognition
glycerol + 3 x fatty acids =
triglycerides
predominant dietary lipid is
triglyceride
two types fatty acid
mono - saturated
poly - unsaturated
once triglycerides are digested to glycerol and free fatty acids they are absorbed where
small intestine
3 types lipids
triglycerides
phospholipids
cholesterol
composition of phospholipid
2 fatty acid tails, head of phosphate and an amine
what is cholesterol
a steroid found paretic in animal foods
how is cholesterol absorbed
undigested
what is cholesterol raw metrical for lots of
hormones
functions lipids in body
energy insulation cell membranes hormones emulsification
