When monomers like glucose combine polymers (carbohydrates) like starch and glycogens are produced. All digestible simple sugars and starches eventually get converted to glucose in our body. The non-digestible complex carbohydrates are called fiber.
Production of starch from glucose
Plants produce starch by first converting; Glucose 1 –phosphate to ADP-glucose by the help of enzyme glucose -1- phosphate adenyltransferase. This is an energy requiring step in which; ATP is used. The enzyme starch synthase adds the ADP-glucose via an 1,4-alpha glycosidic bond, to a chain of glucose, liberating ADP and creating amylase.
Based on this information; when; sugars combine to make; carbs ADP is produced.
When plants perform photosynthesis sugars are produced and stored. In the lab, we validated this statement by treating 4 different leaves to boiling water and ethanol then iodine. Discuss the reason for the distinctive color change in the template (L) and variegated leaf only (4pts)
uestion Completion Status: QUESTION 7 Which of the sugars produced the most carbon dioxide in the 1 minute allotted? [2 pt] glucose maltose fructose maltotriose QUESTION 8 wnet ranidly ferment
1) Mitochondria can use some other simple sugars, such as mannose or galactose (can Golgi make them?) please explain 2) The most common simple sugars are glucose, fructose and galactose (are these made by Golgi too?) Please explain 3) Also, what sugar types does Golgi make that are not used by mitochondria? Please explain
Part 1 Next, consider how sugars are stored. Is there any difference between the way added sugars are stored and the way we store natural sugars? Once glucose is stored, what is it called? Name the two primary (first) sites of energy storage in the body. If these two primary sites are full, what happens to the excess energy we've consumed? Is there a recommendation for what percentage of your carbohydrate intake should be from complex rather than simple carbohydrates?...
Are added Sugars the Cause of the Obesity Epidemic? Do you think that added sugars in foods and beverages would be tightly regulated, or even banned? why or why not? Should reducing consumption of sugary drinks be up to individuals, or should it be encouraged via sales taxes and/or bans on promotions such as coupons, two-for-one pricing, and free refills in restaurants that would make these drinks more expensive overall? Depend your answer.

Calculate the equilibrium concentrations of the three sugars that are formed when 78 mM glucose 6-phosphate is incubated with phosphoglucomutase and phosphohexose isomerase. Keq=8.12
When sugars, such as glucose, form rings two similar functional groups are commonly formed. What are those two functional groups? acetals hemiacetals geminal diols esters
