Document Summary
Made up of carbon and h2o, hydrogen and oxygen (glucose c6h12o6) Plant photosynthesis makes carbohydrates (co2 + h20 (sunlight, plants) c6h12o6 + 02 + More you exercise, the more carbohydrates contribute to your total energy (less fat, bc burned) Functions: (1) provides energy, (2) spares protein from making carbohydrates, (3) provides sweetness, (4) provides fiber, (5) enhances some protein function. Maltose (glucose + glucose) molecules join in food in form starch molecules, by- product of fermentation process. Sucrose (glucose + fructose) found in sugarcane, sugar beets, honey. Lactose (glucose + galactose) milk sugar. Complex (3 + mono): oligosaccharides: 3-10 mono, indigestible molecular bonds, colonic bacteria digest- gas, Scfa: polysaccharides (1) starch: amylose + amylopectin, storage form of glucose in plants (grains, legumes, tubers) (2) fiber- support structures of leaves, stems and plants, indigestible beta bonds. Bg and muscle (350g) to meet muscle needs.
