Document Summary

: cell membranes have millions of proteins embedded. These proteins receive hormones and interact with proteins/structures on other adjacent cells. Glycosylation (adding cho groups to proteins) modifies protein function, essentially changing the identity of the protein. : - changes osmolarity in epithelium and blood. Fructose tends to draw water from blood to gi tract (dehydrating) due to long absorption time. : - blood circulates absorbed glucose; some goes to metabolically active tissue (esp. neurons), at rest most gets stored in liver and skeletal muscle. When needed, liver carbohydrate stores are used to maintain blood glucose (glycogen broken down and single glucose molecules exported from hepatocyte into blood) Alters identity of the cell surface markers. : - trioses (3 carbons), pentoses (5 carbons) Pentoses support synthesis of rna and dna (important during growth) : - improvement on simple vs complex cho. Sugars have a high gi (not fructose) So do some starches ie. potatoes, bread.
