1. The primary function of carbohydrates in the body is to
provide
a. sweetness.
b. satiety.
c. energy.
d. dietary fiber.
ANS: C
The most important function of carbohydrates in the body is to provide
energy.
Unrefined sources ofcarbohydrate do provide dietary fiber, but refined
carbohydrates
do not. Similarly, unrefined carbohydrates may add to satiety, but refined
carbohydrates contribute less to satiety than do protein and fat. Simple

a. disaccharides.

d. complex
carbohydrates.
ANS: C
Fructose, galactose, and glucose each consist of a single unit of
carbohydrate and are
therefore monosaccharides. Disaccharides consist of two carbohydrate
units;
polysaccharides

3. The sweetness in a banana comes mostly
from
a. fructose and
sucrose.
b.
fructose and
glucose.
c.
glucose and
d. maltose.
maltose and
ANS: A sucrose.
The most common sugars found naturally in fruits such as a banana are
fructose and
sucrose. It may also contain some glucose, but this contributes less to the
sweetness.
, Fructose is the sweetestof the sugars, and so it contributes most to the
sweetness.
Maltose is found only in germinating grains or as a product of partial starch
digestion
in the
DIF: gut.
