Group of organic compounds containing a ratio of one carbon atom to two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.

Known as the simplest unit of a carbohydrate

Refers to the "slow-releasing" group of organic compounds

The following are monosaccharides except:

The following are disaccharides, except

Subgroup of carbohydrates classified as "fast-releasing"

Known as the top naturally-occurring sugar in sweetness value.

Known as the preferred fuel source for all organisms from bacteria to plants to animals.

Mostly found in fruits, honey and sugar cane, it is one of the most common monosaccharides in nature.

Abundant in the nucleic acids RNA and DNA, and also as components of fiber.

Contains both glucose and fructose molecules and known as table sugar.

Commonly known as milk sugar which is prevalent in dairy products such as milk, yogurt and cheese

First step in the breakdown of glucose to extract energy for cellular metabolism.

Is the breakdown of the molecule glycogen into glucose, a simple sugar that the body uses to produce energy.

Is the metabolic process by which organisms produce sugars (namely glucose) for catabolic reactions from non-carbohydrate precursors.

Is a common method used by patients at home and hospitals to rapidly test and monitor blood glucose levels.

Type of fat (lipid) found in the blood when body converts any calories not needed to use right away by the body

Derived from both animal fats and plant oils. Rich sources include butter fat, meat fat and tropical oils (palm oil, coconut oil, palm kernel oi).

The following are foods high in saturated fat, except:

All are considered common fatty acids, except:

These are sources of unsaturated fats, except:

A molecule that is a combination of lipid(fat) and protein, known as "bad cholesterol" because a high level leads to a build-up of cholesterol in your arteries.

Lipoproteins called "good cholesterol" as it carries cholesterol from other parts of the body back to the liver. The liver then removes the cholesterol from the body.

The following comprise the therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) to lower LDL, except
