quiz four/start exam 2 Flashcards
what are the four main types of carbohydrates
monosaccharides
disaccharides
oligosaccharides
polysaccharides
define monosaccharide. what are the three basic types
basic unit of carbohydrates
glucose, fructose, and galactose
define disaccharide, and name the three basic types (and how they are created)
2 joined monosaccharides
maltose= glucose+glucose
sucrose= glucose+fructose
lactose= glucose+galactose
define oligosaccharides
3-10 connected monosaccharides
define polysaccharides and name 2 common ones
long chains of monosaccharides
starch
cellulose
how are polysaccharides absorbed
they must first be fully broken down into monosaccharides
where does digestion begin
the mouth
what does saliva contain
a-amylase, which breaks down some polysaccharides into oligosaccharides
define chyme
chewed up, partially digested food
what is released when chyme enters the small intestine
cholecystokinine
what does pancreatic a-amylase do
break down polysaccharides into oligosaccharides
what does the brush boarder secrete?
oligosaccharidasis and disaccharidasis
maltase-maltose=
sucrase-sucrose=
lactase-lactose=
2 glucose
glucose+fructose
glucose+galatose
what are the products of digestion
glucose, fructose, and galactose
where does true digestion occur
the small intestine
do transporters require energy or not
no
describe glucose absorption
Na glucose symporter on the brush boarder
allows monosaccharide into epithelial cell
contains one glucose and 2 Na
what is the goal of absorption
to get into the blood
describe GLUT 2
diffusion and transports glucose to the blood stream (hepatic portal system)
