Chapter 04: Carbohydrates
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 of carbohydrate 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 carbohydrates provide sweetness; this is pleasant but not
essential to the body.

,2. Fructose, galactose, and glucose are examples of
a. disaccharides.
b. polysaccharides.
,c. monosaccharides.
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 and complex carbohydrates consist
of several carbohydrate units.

3. The sweetness in a banana comes mostly from
a. fructose and sucrose.
b. fructose and glucose.
c. glucose and maltose.
d. maltose and sucrose.
, ANS: A
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 sweetest of 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 gut.
