Document Summary
Carbohydrates: principles; links to energy metabolism; energy flow in ecosystems; links to health and metabolic programming to sugars and back between producers and consumers. Identify what features make sugars an energy source. Place sugars into the context of photosynthesis and cellular respiration. Follow the flow of energy between producers and consumers. Identify the reason why sugars (and not atp) are used for longer-term storage of energy. Predict the formula of sugars composed of more than one monosaccharide. Know the examples of mono-, di-, and polysaccharides from lecture. Relate high fructose corn syrup (hfcs) to human sugar transporters and to fructose mal-absorption. Relate differences in lactose intolerance among human populations to their diets over evolutionary history. Relate the structures of starch, glycogen, and cellulose to their respective digestibility, their functions, and the organisms and tissues in which they occur. Relate the structures of the starches amylose and amylopectin to the respective speed of their breakdown.
