Carbohydrate Molecule
4
What is a Carbohydrate? Biochemical that contains glucose to provide you with energy.
5
Three Monosaccharides C 6 H 12 O 6 copyright cmassengale
6
Different Forms of Glucose copyright cmassengale
7
Two types of Carbohydrates Simple: simple sugars such as glucose Complex: hundreds of sugar molecules bonded together: cellulose and glycogen
8
Complex Carbs Provide vitamins, minerals and fiber. Bread, rice, pasta and starchy vegetables.
9
Simple Carbs Found in foods such as: fruits, milk and vegetables. Cakes, Candy and other refined sugars that provide energy but lack of vitamins and minerals.
10
Enzymes that break down Complex Carbs. Amalyse: found in your saliva and pancreas breaks down starch into glucose
11
MAIN FUEL 1 st Micro-molecule to obtain energy for the body-because it needs little energy to breakdown.
12
Lipids Molecules that do not dissolve in water –Good and Bad
13
Enzymes that breakdown Lipids Lipase: breaks down in your pancreas- into the following: glycerol and fatty acids
14
Function of Lipids. Energy. Essential nutrient. Flavor and Satisfaction. Adipose Tissue. Cell membrane Structure Fat in Food Fat in Body
15
Proteins Growth Repair Energy
16
Enzymes that break up protein Proteases- break down protein into amino acid.
17
Nucleic Acids Make up you!!
