Carbohydrates and Their Functions in the Body

The primary role of carbohydrates is to supply energy to cells. However, they do have other important roles in the body as well.

Match the words in the left column to the appropriate blanks in the sentences on the right. Words will not be reused.

pleas answer the blanks

galactose

macronutrient

maltose

glycogen

protein

glycogenesis

straight

branching

fiber

1. Carbohydrates are a whose primary function it to provide energy to the body. All digestible forms of carbohydrates provide 4 calories/g of energy. Fiber, starch, and are complex carbohydrates, while glucose, fructose, and sucrose are simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates can be monosaccharides,

like glucose and or disaccharides, like lactose and . Complex carbohydrates include polysaccharides. Starch consists of chains of glucose molecules. Some starch chains are and harder to digest. Other starch is much easier to digest and has chains. Dietary consists of soluble and insoluble types, which both possess important benefits like reducing the risk of constipation, heart disease, and obesity. Soluble fiber also helps reduce the risk of diabetes. Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide created by a process called and is stored in the liver and muscles for later use. Carbohydrates in the diet are said to spare from being used to provide for fuel for cells.

Explanation:

1. Carbohydrates are a Macronutrient whose primary function it to provide energy to the body. All digestible forms of carbohydrates provide 4 calories/g of energy. Fiber, starch, and glycogen are complex carbohydrates, while glucose, fructose, and sucrose are simple carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates can be monosaccharides,

like glucose and galactose or disaccharides, like lactose and maltose . Complex carbohydrates include polysaccharides. Starch consists of chains of glucose molecules. Some starch chains are branched and harder to digest. Other starch is much easier to digest and has straight chains. Dietary fibre consists of soluble and insoluble types, which both possess important benefits like reducing the risk of constipation, heart disease, and obesity. Soluble fiber also helps reduce the risk of diabetes. Glycogen is a highly branched polysaccharide created by a process called glycogenesis and is stored in the liver and muscles for later use. Carbohydrates in the diet are said to spare proteins from being used to provide for fuel for cells.

Carbonhydrate are polyhydroxyl aldehyde or ketones.they are usually monossacharides, dissaccharides or polysaccharide.

Carbonhydrate are a good source of energy in the diet of man.

Monossacharides are the building blocks of monossacharides and polysaccharide.maintanance of blood sugar level is ensured by insulin,which converts excess sugar to forms in which they can be stored

Haha the answer given by the other user is correct but just switch out 'branching' and 'straight' then its totally correct!

Explanation:

the answer is: metamorphic rocks often show the presence of fossils, also a
