Composition
They are the three atoms that make up Carbs
What are Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen?
When glucose is bonded with fructose it forms this Carb
What is Sucrose?
It is the class of organisms that build carbs
What are producers?
When breaking down Carbs the type of reaction that needs to add water
What is Hydrolysis?
It is the primary reason we consume Carbs
What is to obtain short term energy?
It is the chemical formula for galactose and fructose
What is C6H12O6?
When hundreds of glucose molecules are bonded together they form this Carb which humans can break down to obtain energy
What is Starch?
Plants need this type of energy to make glucose
What is solar energy?
Type of reaction that creates a disaccharide in a plant
What is dehydration reaction?
It is the type of reaction that breaks down complex carbs by adding water
What is Hyrolysis?
This is main difference between fructose and glucose
What is shape of the molecule?
This type of reaction makes larger carbs by losing water as each glucose is attached. WHat type of reaction is this?
It is a dehydration reaction
The leaves of a plant have stomata which are passageways for this needed gas in order to make glucose
What is Carbon Dioxide?
It is the chemical formula for table sugar
What is C12H22O11?
Humans evolved eating Carbs because they learned this about Carbs
Sweet foods are not naturally toxic
It is the most abundant element in Carbs
What is Hydrogen?
Lactose and Sucrose are these types of Carbs
What are Disaccharides?
Plants use this structure to obtain the much needed water to make glucose
What are roots?
This molecule is made by animals combining thousands of glucose molecules.
What is Glycogen?
This is the term for sugars
What is Saccharide?
Glucose is made by plants and is used to make larger molecules. If glucose binds with Nitrogen atoms, this molecule is formed
What are proteins?
Polysaccharide that we know as fiber
What is Cellulose?
Which element found in lipids that are also in Carbs is much less abundant due to fatty acid tails?
What is oxygen?
It is the monosaccharide that is pentagon shaped and only has 5 Carbon atoms
What is ribose?
People of European descent tend to handle dairy products better because they produce more of this enzyme as a group
What is Lactase?
