What is a monosaccharide (like glucose)?
These foods are a source of carbohydrates.
What are pasta, bread, potatoes, rice, etc.?
This is a substance that changes color to show the presence of another substance.
What is an indicator?
This is the only type of sugar that can be used by cells.
The reaction when two monosaccharides bond and release water.
What is dehydration synthesis?
Many monosaccharides linked together form this.
What is a polysaccharide (polymer)?
Carbohydrates provide this type of energy.
What is short-term, immediate energy?
This solution is used to test for simple sugars.
What is Benedict’s solution?
This type of diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces little or no insulin.
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
The reverse of dehydration synthesis, when water is added to break bonds.
What is hydrolysis?
This monosaccharide is the body’s main energy source.
What is glucose?
This is when monomers come together to create polymers.
What is polymerization?
This type of control uses a sample known to give a positive result.
What is a positive control?
This type of diabetes is often linked to lifestyle and insulin resistance.
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
This is the process plants use to create glucose for energy, and the reason for plants being the main source of carbs.
What is photosynthesis?
Another name for a carbohydrate polymer.
What are polysaccharides?
Using both positive and negative controls in an experiment ensures this.
What are accurate and reliable results?
This type of control uses a sample known to give a negative result.
What is a negative control?
This organ produces and releases insulin to take up glucose in the blood
What is the pancreas?
Plants store excess glucose in this polysaccharide.
What is starch?
These three elements make up all carbohydrates.

What is ginger ale, Gatorade, cranberry juice, or coconut water?
Long-distance runners benefit from eating this type of carbohydrate, found in pasta and whole grains, because it digests slowly.
What are complex carbohydrates?
This is why hydrolysis occurs during digestion.
What is to break down polysaccharides into monosaccharides for absorption?
