Función de los Carbohidratos

How are carbohydrates classified?

• Disaccharides, Trisaccharides, Tetrasaccharides

• Fats, Proteins, Vitamins

• Sugars, Starches, Fibers

• Monosaccharides, Oligosaccharides, Polysaccharides

What is the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates?

• Simple carbohydrates are quick energy sources, while complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy.

• Simple carbohydrates take longer to digest than complex carbohydrates.

• Complex carbohydrates are always sweet, while simple carbohydrates are not.

• Simple carbohydrates are high in fiber, while complex carbohydrates are low in fiber.

Define monosaccharides and give an example.

• Monosaccharides are proteins; an example is hemoglobin.

• Monosaccharides are fatty acids; an example is oleic acid.

• Monosaccharides are complex carbohydrates; an example is starch.

• Monosaccharides are simple sugars; an example is glucose.

What role do carbohydrates play in energy production?

• Carbohydrates are primarily used for protein synthesis.

• Carbohydrates are stored as fat and do not contribute to energy.

• Carbohydrates provide glucose, which is essential for ATP production in energy metabolism.

• Carbohydrates are only important for digestive health.

Explain the nomenclature of carbohydrates.

• Carbohydrates have no specific naming conventions.

• Carbohydrates are classified only by their molecular weight.

• Carbohydrates are named based on their structure, including the number of carbon atoms and functional groups, with common suffixes like '-ose'.

• Carbohydrates are named based on their taste and color.

What are disaccharides and how are they formed?

• Disaccharides are carbohydrates composed of two monosaccharide units linked by a glycosidic bond.

• Disaccharides are formed by the hydrolysis of polysaccharides.

• Disaccharides are simple sugars that cannot be broken down further.

• Disaccharides are proteins made of two amino acids.

Describe the significance of dietary fiber, a type of carbohydrate.

• Dietary fiber is significant for digestive health, blood sugar regulation, cholesterol reduction, weight management, and gut health.

• Dietary fiber has no impact on heart health.

• Dietary fiber is primarily a source of protein.

• Dietary fiber is essential for muscle growth.

How do carbohydrates impact blood sugar levels?

• Carbohydrates raise blood sugar levels by increasing glucose in the bloodstream.

• Carbohydrates only impact blood sugar levels when consumed with protein.

• Carbohydrates have no effect on blood sugar levels at all.

• Carbohydrates lower blood sugar levels by decreasing glucose in the bloodstream.
