Nutrition HO-15 Lesson 4
Question | Answer |
---|---|
three monosaccharides | fructose, glucose and galactose |
three disaccharides | sucrose, maltose and lactose |
fructose + glucose is | sucrose |
glucose + galactose is | lactose |
glucose + glucose is | maltose |
lactose breaks down into | galactose + glucose |
maltose breaks down into | glucose + glucose |
table sugar is | sucrose |
fruit sugar is | fructose |
milk sugar is | lactose |
sucrose breaks down into | fructose + glucose |
three complex carbohydrates | starch, fiber, glycogen |
storage form of carbohydrates in the body | glycogen |
complex carbohydrate that provides us with energy | starch |
complex carbohydrate that passes through undigested | fiber |
when the starch from corn is consumed the end result in the bloodstream is | glucose |
the recommended intake for carbohydrates as a % of total calories is | 45-65% |
the recommended intake for added sugar as a % of total calories is | 0-5% |
which type of carbohydrates should be minimized in the diet | refined |
the maximum amount of added sugar (in grams) per day | 25-35 grams |
which type of fiber decreases risk of heart disease and diabetes | soluble |
which type of fiber alleviates constipation and lower risk of diverticulosis | insoluble |
which type of fiber slows the absorption of glucose | soluble |
which type of fiber adds bulk to stools | insoluble |
when a grain is refined, what is removed | husk, bran and germ |
unbleached, refined wheat flour is shown on a label as | wheat flour |
every absorbable carbohydrate eventually ends up as what in the bloodstream | glucose |
when blood sugar drops, what is released from the pancreas | glucagon |
when blood sugar rises, what is released from the pancreas | insulin |
insulin lowers blood glucose by | assisting glucose into cells |
glucagon acts on what organ | liver |
what is the action of glucagon | breaks down glycogen to glucose |
what impact does glucagon have on blood glucose | raises blood glucose |
what impact does insulin have on blood glucose | lowers blood glucose |
what is the chemical composition of honey | fructose, glucose and sucrose |
is honey an added sugar? | yes |
how does the glycemic load differ from glycemic index | takes into account the weight of the food |
evaporated cane juice is healthier than table sugar | no, it's chemically the same |
which type of diabetes is an autoimmune disease | type 1 |
which type of diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance | type 2 |
when an individual has diabetes is the blood sugar high or low | high |
increased fat storage, insulin resistance, high uric acid, high cholesterol are associated with high intakes of | fructose |
