This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Chapter 3 part A, give plants their shape and is an important component of dietary fiber complex carbohydrates are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains. Some examples of foods high in starchy complex carbohydrates include bread, cereal, rice, pasta, potatoes, dry beans, carrots and corn. Green vegetables like green beans, broccoli and spinach contain less starch and more fiber. All grains include starchy carbohydrates. whole grains -- such as whole wheat pasta -- are better for you because they also have more fiber., depends on two safegards high glucose When it gets too high ( as in after a meal) the blood glucose level can be corrected by siphoning off excess glucose and converting it into liver glycogen muscle glycogen or body fat, bacteria lives on sugar when a large number of bacteria living in a film in your mouth called plaque, enough acid can be released to eat a whole in your tooth emamel/ the result is a cavity, Why are fruits considered better than candies and sweets because fruits differ from candy and sweets, The Pancreas will release insulin in response Insulin is a messenger to the cells. body cells responds by taking up glucose from the blood to make glycogen or fat, by taking up glucose from the blood to make glycogen or fat thus the level as quickly brought down to normal as the body stores the excess, Complex Carbohydrates are thought to be our most valuable energy nutrient, digestive system task is to disassemble the double sugars and starch into single sugars so these monoscccarides can be absorbed into the blood following absorbsion, the liver converts to glucose any carbs that were not absorbed in the form of glucose so they can be used by the cells., Glucose is the basic carbo9hydrate unit that each cell of the body uses for energy, a polysaccharide. the liver stores 1/3 of the body's glycogen to be uses to regulate the blood's glucose level when it recieves a message that it is low. the liver stores half of the day's glucose needs as glycogen, serve as storage form of energy in plants fairly easy to digest complex carbohydrates are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains. Some examples of foods high in starchy complex carbohydrates include bread, cereal, rice, pasta, potatoes, dry beans, carrots and corn. Green vegetables like green beans, broccoli and spinach contain less starch and more fiber. All grains include starchy carbohydrates. whole grains -- such as whole wheat pasta -- are better for you because they also have more fiber., time you eat your mouth is bathed in acid for 20 minutes. so how often you eat is another factor. combinations foods eaten together in a meal are less harmful to teeth than when eaten alone., are found in fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds and grains. Some examples of foods high in starchy complex carbohydrates include bread, cereal, rice, pasta, potatoes, dry beans, carrots and corn. Green vegetables like green beans, broccoli and spinach contain less starch and more fiber. All grains include starchy carbohydrates. whole grains -- such as whole wheat pasta -- are better for you because they also have more fiber. a major part of your diet should be Complex carbohydrates about half of your daily calories mostly from grains, cereals, fruits and vegetables. Only a few of your daily calories should come from simple carbohydrates like table sugar., Double sugars made by bonding two single sugars together When Glucose and fructose are bonded together they form Succrose or table sugar, How does the body maintainits blood glucose? Which organ responds first when blood glucose level increases? maintaining blood glucose depends on two safegards, simple sugars Disaccharides Double sugars made by bonding two single sugars together, fruits differ from candy and sweets in important ways concentrated sweets such as honey and table sugar, are empty calorie foods., How sugars cause dental caries tooth decay is caused by certain types of acid-producing bacteria which cause the most damage in the presence of fermentable carbohydrates such as sucrose, fructose, and glucose. The resulting acidic levels in the mouth affect teeth because a tooth's special mineral content causes it to be sensitive to low pH., the opposing harmone to insulin is glucagon when blood glucose level is too low, the pancreas will release glucagon which draws forth glucose from storage making it available for energy., Maltose is another double sugar that consists of two glucose units occurs in sprouting seeds and arises during the digestion of starch in human body
