Document Summary

Function: energy storage and cell surface molecules. Foods: bread, fruits, spinach, french fries, potatoes. Corn syrup (enzymatic breakdown of corn starch) High-fructose corn syrup (further enzymatic processing to convert glucose to fructose) Dietary fiber (cellulose) structural component of plant cells. Starch long-term energy storage for plants (roots, seeds), digested by hydrolysis in germinating seeds to provide glucose energy. Any carbohydrate bigger than monosaccharides too big to cross into the bloodstream. Hydrolysis enzymes are located in mouth, and small intestine. Amylase breaks down carbohydrates in our mouths. Enzyme + substrate enzyme-substrate complex enzyme + products. Glucose linked differently in starch and cellulose. Cellulose (fiber) calorie free because we do not make digestive enzymes that can recognize the bonds and break them down. Two major lipids: triglycerides (fats and oils), cholesterol. Phospholipids are found in all plasma (cell) membranes, but not listed on food label. Enriched in animal sources + coco and palm. Polyunsaturated: more than one c=c, corn safflower, soy oils.
