short answers

1 . Create a chart that describes and gives examples of each of the following : simple sugars , monosaccharide , disaccharide , glycogen complex carbohydrates , polysaccharide , and dietary fiber

Simple Sugar Can easily be broken down or digested . Table sugar , honey maple syrup , brown sugar

Monosaccharide Simplest carbohydrates one sub-unit of sugar . Glucose frustose , ribose

Disaccharide Two sub-units of sugar two monosaccharide linked together by dehydration synthesis . Maltose , lactose , sucrose

Glycogen Storage form of glucose inside the body a type of polysaccharide Glucose

Complex Carbohydrates Harder to be digested by the body has

vitamins minerals , and fibers Oatmeal , pasta , rice , vegetables

Polysaccharide Three or more monosaccharide linked together Starch cellulose

Dietary Fiber Indigestible part of plant foods consisted of polysaccharide Cellulose 2 . What are three sugar substitutes and how safe are each

First substitute is called Saccharin . It is around 200-700 times sweeter than table sugar . Once it was proposed to be banned by Food and Drug Administration (FDA ) because of possible cancer risk , but eventually it was cleared of the risk by the National Cancer Institute . Second substitute is the Aspartame . It is a general sugar substitute found in foods and drinks , and around 200 times sweeter than table sugar . FDA announced that this sugar substitute is generally safe for humans except for those who have a genetic ailment of metabolism called phenylketonuria . Third sugar substitute is called Sucralose . It is around 600 times sweeter than table sugar . It is also popular to have zero calories in it . Reports of side effects of this substitute like headaches , constipation and digestive problem circled during the previous years but FDA permitted the use of this sweetener as general-purpose sugar substitute in 1999

3 . Identify three functions of proteins . What protein types are associated with each function ? Give two examples (from the human body of each protein

First function of protein is promoting breakdown of starch (catalyst Enzymes are usually associated to this function of protein . Pepsin and rennin are examples of this produced inside the stomach . Second function is for cell signaling and molecule transport . Transport proteins like hemoglobin and serum albumin are usually associated with this function Third function is for mechanical support . Structural proteins like collagen and keratin are associated to this function

4 . What are amino acids ? Differentiate between essential and ssential amino acids

Amino acids are molecules that contain carboxyl and amino functional groups , and they are the basic building blocks of proteins . Essential amino acids are molecules that cannot be made by the body and therefore must be obtained from food . Non-essential amino acids are usually made by the body from normal breakdown of proteins

5 . Explain how vegetarian diets (with no meat proteins ) might still be considered a balanced diet

Vegetarian diet has distinct health advantages than other types of diet But the main question is does it provide enough protein for proper functioning of human body . A balanced diet is having sufficient amount of different nutrients in our body . And for a vegetarian diet , a variety of vegetables...
