Document Summary

Identify and describe the structure of the three classes of carbohydrates. Monosaccharides: simple sugars, made of 3-7 carbons examples: fructose, galactose,deoxyribose and ribose. Disaccharides: 2 monosaccharides formed together: sucrose, lactose, and maltose. Polysaccharides: many monosaccharides formed together: glucose and glycogen. Identify and describe the structure of the two classes of lipids. Triglycerides- composed of glycerol and 3 fatty acids. Needs to be broken down into fatty acids and a glycerol to be absorbed- requires an enzyme. Cholesterol: does not need to be chemically broken digested to be absorbed- four rings of hydrocarbons that have different side chains extending from the rings. Describe the contribution of amylase to the chemical digestion of carbohydrates. Oral cavity: salivary glands synthesize/secrete salivary amylase. Stomach: salivary amylase is inactivated by low ph. Small intestine lumen: pancreatic amylase breaks down starch into shorter strands and disaccharides.
