COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW NOTES ANALYTICAL
SUMMARY
◉ simple carbohydrates.
Answer: carbohydrates categorized as either monosaccharides
(single sugars) or disaccharides (two sugars)
◉ monosaccharides.
Answer: simple sugars including Glucose (blood sugar, the main
energy provider), Galactose (a component of milk sugar), and
Fructose (fruit sugar)
◉ disaccharides.
Answer: simple sugars made of two monosaccharide units, including
Maltose (two glucose units), Sucrose (table sugar; glucose and
fructose), and Lactose (milk sugar; glucose and galactose)
◉ complex carbohydrates.
Answer: carbohydrates categorized as oligosaccharides or
polysaccharides
◉ oligosaccharides.
, Answer: carbohydrates containing 3-10 monosaccharide units; some
act as prebiotics for gut bacteria
◉ polysaccharides.
Answer: long chains of monosaccharides, including glycogen,
starches, and fiber
◉ glycogen.
Answer: the storage form of carbohydrates in animals, comprised of
highly branched chains of glucose stored in the muscle and liver
◉ Starches.
Answer: the storage form of carbohydrates in plants
◉ Amylose (starch).
Answer: a linear form of starch
◉ Amylopectin (starch).
Answer: a highly branched form of starch that is really broken down
◉ dietary fiber.
Answer: complex carbohydrates and lignins from plants that cannot
be digested by human enzymes
