Document Summary
Module 3 carbohydrates essenial energy: types, monosaccharide , glucose : Basic unit of starch and cellulose . Type of sugar in blood, table sugar . Found in processed food high fructose corn syrup (sweet&cheap-empty calories food: galactose : Present as monosaccharide in small intesine ater digesion: disaccharides :---require digesion, most common are sucrose and lactose a. Found in milk products: up to 1/2 of the energy in milk. Less in some chesses (swiss and cheddar) and yogurt. Fermented in large intesine (diarrhea/bloaing: maltose : Absorbed as glucose: oligosaccharides :--sugars: several monosaccharide linked together a. Digesible and absorbed as glucose: bean sugars. Fermented in large intesine: polysaccharides , very long carbohydrate chains: composed of many monosaccharide units glucose, known as complex carbohydrate (digesible, major types of polysaccharides. Dietary iber undigestable, not source of energy cellulose, pecin . Ii digesion: mouth, mixing and grinding with saliva b. Saliva has amylase : amylase digests/breakdown starch/amylose.
