Carb Basics
This is what the word large molecule means
What is a macromolecule?
This sugar ( glucose + fructose) is usually found in table sugar and fruit.
What is sucrose?
The monomer (building block) of carbohydrates.
What is a monosaccharide?
Your body uses carbohydrates for this.
What is quick (short-term) energy?
using water to break things apart
what is hydrolysis?
One sugar molecule
What is a monosacharide?
A lot of people can’t handle this sugar in milk and dairy
What is lactose?
A monosaccharide is considered "one” of these
What is a sugar molecule?
When your body needs energy fast, it uses these first
What are carbohydrates?
True or false - In dehydration synthesis, water is removed when sugar molecules are joined
True - (water is removed to connect the monomers and build a larger molecule)
These elements make up carbohydrates.
What is carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?
This polysaccharide provides structural support in plants.
What is cellulose?
When many sugar molecules link together.
What are polysaccharides?
When glucose enters your body, it's called -
what is blood sugar?
This is made when many monosaccharides are connected.
What is a polymer ?
All living things are made of these big molecules, like carbs, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
What are macromolecules?
These everyday foods are rich in Carbs.
What is bread, pasta, and rice?
Starch and glycogen are examples of this type of carbohydrate
What is a polymer?
This type of carbohydrate in plants is used for long-term energy storage
What is starch?
this carbohydrate is the polymer made when many glucose molecules join
What is starch?
Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins, Nucleic Acids
What are the four types of macromolecules?
Glycogen is stored in these two parts of the body
What are the liver & muscles?
a polysaccharide which forms glucose and is used for energy storage in animals
What is glycogen?
When you eat carbs, your body turns them into this sugar
What is glucose?
Joins monosaccharides together by removing water.
What is dehydration synthesis?
