Document Summary

Nutrition (1021) chapter 4: carbohydrates, sugar, starch, glycogen & fiber. C(o is the body"s first choice for energy needs, used as glucose and stored as glycogen. Dietary sources: grains ex) breads, cereals, pasta etc, beans/legumes, milk and alternatives, fruits, starchy vegetables ex) potatoes, turnip, corn, carrots etc. There are several types of carbs, monosaccharides, disaccharide, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. These are also known as sugars consisting of 1-2 polymers: monosaccharides glucose, fructose and galactose, dissacharides maltose, sucrose, lactose, sugar alcohols sorbitol and mannitol. Monosaccharides: glucose: this is our blood sugar (dextrose) and is an essential cho as it is a main source of energy for the brain and nerves. ** excreted in urine by diabetics: fructose: this is fruit sugar and is sweeter than table sugar, galactose: this is part of lactose (milk sugar) and is freed during digestion. Monosaccharides join together to make 3 disaccharides: maltose sucrose lactose.

Charts and tables are tools we use in science to break down information analytically and present data in an organized manner. It is a beneficial strategy for learning about and organizing scientific material, which we will be using often in this class. Make sure that you are detailed, thorough, and specific in your responses. Explain yourself clearly. Do not list a word or brief phrase without explaining what it means. For example, if you list diabetes for carbohydrates, make sure you explain how carbs are associated with diabetes. Don't leave the reader to make that connection for you. Also, make sure you provide APA-style references for each of your so
