What else can I help you with?
Do starches have less calories than other carbohydrates?
yes
Are starches and sugars examples of carbohydrates?
Yes,they are.But you can think of them as carbohydrates at different levels......sugars are simpler than cellulose which is found in plants.Also satarch is the bit more complex carbohydrate(not as much as cellulose)which is stored in plants for their use whenever they need it...
Why is the sugar content of cooked hot starches like potato higher than when it is cooled off?
When hot starches like potatoes are cooked, the starch granules swell and gelatinize, making some of their natural sugars more accessible. As the starch cools, it recrystallizes, locking in some of the sugar content. This can make the sugar content of cooked hot starches like potatoes higher than when they are cooled off.
Sugars can bind together to form?
polysaccharides or disaccharides through dehydration synthesis, where a water molecule is removed. This process helps create larger sugar molecules with different properties than simpler sugars.
How many tablespoons in a kilogram of sugar?
it depends greatly on the type of sugar. Brown sugar will be less than confectioner sugar, but raw sugar will be far less than helium sugar.
Why do the more complex sugar disacharides store more molecules than monosacharides?
Never mind, Disaccharides have more chemical bonds.
What is the advantage of brown sugar?
it is less refined than white sugar so therefore it has less additives
Is carob bar no better for you than a chocolate bar?
Carob is sweeter than cocoa- less sugar has to be added. So, it has less sugar and calories than chocolate.
Why can the complex sugar cellulose store energy than sugar glucose?
Cellulose has more chemical bonds.
What has more than double the energy value of sugar and starches?
That sounds like fat - fat has a high energy concentration. I am not sure whether it is more than twice, though.
Why is sweetener less sweet than sugar?
Sweeteners are often concentrated forms of sugar substitutes that are much sweeter than sugar. This means that even though they are less sweet than sugar by volume, you need to use less of them to achieve the same level of sweetness. Additionally, sweeteners can have different taste profiles and may not always mimic the taste of sugar exactly.
What carbohydrates require a process of digestion in order to be broken down into glucose and help maintain proper blood sugar levels?
Complex carbohydrates such as starches found in foods like whole grains, vegetables, and legumes require digestion to break down into glucose and help maintain proper blood sugar levels. These carbohydrates provide sustained energy and are digested more slowly than simple carbohydrates.
