Document Summary

Module 2 nutrie(cid:374)t a(cid:374)d e(cid:374)ergy flow i(cid:374) Carbohydrates: made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, energy source, most common is glucose c6h12o6 (monosaccharide) Important energy source: polysaccharide two or more covalently bonded monosaccharides, maltose = glucose + glucose. Sugar for yeast to create ethanol in beer: sucrose = glucose + fructose. Plants and animals store sugars this way. Glycogen (animal sugar storage, in muscle and liver: structural polysaccharides. Hard for monogastric animals to digest w/out help: good in diets as fibre. Digestible by fermentation = ruminants (cattle, sheep, goats, camels, giraffes, deer, bison) and hind-gut fermenters (horses, donkeys) chitin exoskeleton for arthropods. Lipids: fats, glycerol + 3 fatty acids = lipid, saturated fatty acid. Has at least one double bond, fewer hydrogens. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for humans: phospholipids. Major component of cell membranes in animals. 2 fatty acids + glycerol + phosphate group: steroids.
