Exam 2 Flashcards
Three pentose sugars
ribose
deoxyribose
ribitol
What is special about sugar alcohols (structure)
two alcohol groups
what is special about sugar alcohols (metabolism)
low calorie
three dietary monosaccarides
glucose
galactose
fructose
beta anomers have this
OH on the same side of the ring
alpha anomers have OH group in this position
down (axial)
beta anomers have OH group in this position
up (equitorial)
OH group of this mono is on the right side of the stick drawing
glucose
OH group of this mono is on the left side of the stick drawing
galactose
The aldehyde group of this mono is on the second carbon
fructose
This is formed between the hemiacetal group of a saccharide and the hydroxyl group of the same compount
glycosidic linkage
a substance containing a glycosidic bon is this
glycoside
This Di has an alpha 1-4 glycosidic bon
maltose
this di has a beta 1-4 glycosidic bond
lactose
this di has an alpha 1-2 glycosidic bond
sucrose
this di is found in fungi and plants
trehalose
glucose bound to galactose
lactose
glucose bound to fructose
sucrose
glucose bound to glucose
maltose and trehalose
when a sugar has an open chain form with an aldehyde group it is classified as this
reducing sugar
this can be oxidized via a redox reation in which another compound is reduced
aldehyde of a reducing sugar
only non reducing sugar covered in class
sucrose
examples of oligo saccharides (3)
raffinose
stachyose
verbascose
foods containing alot of oligo saccharides
beans
peas
bran
whole grains
starch is composed of these polys
amylose
amylopectin
glycogen is found here
liver
skeletal muscle
poly which is a dietary fiber and not an energy source
cellulose
percent of amylose and amylopectin in startch
15-20
80-85
glycosidic bonding in amylose
alpha 1-4 (all glucose)
this poly is the energy storage in plants
amylopectin
consists of glucose moleculeds bonded togther in a highly branched arrangement (plant source)
amylopectin
amylopectin has these two types of bonds
alpha 1-4
alpha 1-6 (branches)
energy storage in animals
glycogen
this poly has multiple non-reducing ends
glycogen
this is the most branched poly
glycogen
glycogen has these two types of bonds
alpha 1-4
alpha 1-6 (branches)
why cant cellulose be digested by humans
beta 1-4 bonds
what enzyme begins the digestion of amylose and amylopectin
salivary amylase
what bond is broken by salivary amylase, and what is formed
a 1-4 bonds
dextrins
t/f: the stomach is the main center of CHO digestion
f
the pancreas releases this to continue CHO digestion
pancreatic a-amylase
pancreatic a-amylase activity for amylose
breaks a 1-4 bonds
dextrins are broken down into maltose
pancreatic a-amylase activity for amylopectin
breaks a 1-4 bonds
produces limit dextrins, maltotriose, isomaltose, and maltose
pancreatic a-amylase activity stops here on amylopectin
4 residues away from a 1-6 glycosidic bonds
maltose is hydrolyzed by this enzyme, a brush border enzyme froming free glucose
maltase
maltotriose, isomaltose, and maltose are broken down by these enzymes to glucose
maltase and isomaltase
this enzyme is the sole carbohydrase capable of hydrolyzing a 1-6 bonds
a-dextrinase
disaccharide digestion occurs here
brush border
maltose is digested by
maltase
lactose is digested by
lactase
sucrose is diegested by
sucrase
this enzyme is messing in lactose intolerant people
sucrase
type of bond in sucrose
a 1-2
this type of starch does not release glucose within the small intestine, but rather reaches the large intesting where it is consumed or fermented by colonic bacteria
resistant starch
beano contains this to digest aligosaccharides
a-galactosidase (enzymes)
these are poorly absorbed and can cause stomach aches, and diarrhea
sugar alcohols
glucose and galactose are absorbed by these two transporders
SGLT1
Glut2
Fructose is absorbed by this transporter
glut5
This transporter of glucose and galactose uses sodium and is a form of active transport
SGLT1
These two transporters of monos are facilitative transporders
Glut2
Glut5
This mono is more slowly absorbed than glucose
fructose
This transporter of monos is the onlyone present on the basal surface of the intestinal cell
Glut2
this transporter is transferred to the apical side of the cell when sugar-rih meals are ingested
glut2
this hormone causes the translocation of the glut2 transporter from the apical surface of the cell to the inside of the cell
insulin
an increase in this substance causes glut2 to join the lumen of the membrane
glucose
digestion and absorption of CHO occurs here
brush boarder
this transporter is insulin dependent
glut4
These are the two transporters with high Km
glut2
glut4
kidney, liver, and brain can work independent of this hormone
insulin
storage hormone
insulin
how does insulin affect glucose uptake
increases uptake by causing glut4 to bind to apical surface of cell
6 steps of translocation of Glut4 to the cell membrane
biosynthesis transported tethering docking fusion endocytosis
increase in glood glucose during 2-hour period after consumption of a certain amount of CHO compared with equal CHO from reference food
Glycemic index GI
This considers quantity and quality of CHO in a food
glycemic load
