What else can I help you with?
Do you need sugar in your diet?
You need carbohydrates, but simple sugars and processed sugars can be substituted for more complex carbs like whole grains and fibers. While simple sugars aren't inherently bad for you, processed sugars usually come along with a whole lot of nasty stuff.
What are the three common simple sugars in your diet?
The three most common monosaccharides in one's diet are most likely glucose (both the alpha and beta isomers), galactose, and fructose. These sugars make up three common diasaccharides: Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose Maltose (malt sugar) is made from 2 alpha glucoses (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond) Lactose (milk sugar) is made from galactose and beta glucose (linked via a beta glycosidic bond) Sucrose (table sugar) is made from alpha glucose and fructose (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond.)
What is formed when three or more simple sugars are chemically bonded together?
polysaccharide
How many water molecules will the bonding of four simple sugars produce?
The bonding of sugars is a condensation reaction, producing one water molecule with each reaction. To bond four simple sugars, three bondings are required, which means three water molecules are produced.
Which three components of a balanced diet supply us with energy?
Fats Carbohydrates (sugars) Proteins
What is the name of simple sugars?

What three simple sugars are absorbed into the bloodstream?
The three simple sugars absorbed into the bloodstream are glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Is glucose fructose and sucrose a simple carbohydrate?
I copied this from (http://www.healthcentral.com/diet-exercise/c/92/10830/simple-sugars/), hope it helps! ;) What are simple sugars? Simple sugars, also called simple carbohydrates, are found in refined sugars like table sugar. Sweets like cookies, cakes and candy are high in simple sugars. These types of simple sugars do not provide vitamins, minerals or fiber and the calories that they provide are considered "empty calories". A high intake of these added sugars is associated with cavities and can contribute to high triglyceride levels and heart disease. You can determine whether the food item you are eating has added sugars by reading the food label. Examples of added sugars include: * Corn syrup * Dextrose * Fructose * Fruit juice concentrates * Glucose * Honey * Lactose * Maltose * Molasses * Sucrose * Sugar * Syrup
How many simple sugars are joined together in a trisaccharide?
Three. Trisaccharide means three sugars. Disaccharide is two, monosaccharide is one.
On the atkins diet do you go by carbohydrates of which sugars?
On the Atkins diet, you go by carbohydrates (most carbohydrates have sugars in them).
Why do you need starch in a balanced diet?
It is a complex sugar, allowing to have energy, long lasting energy, unlike simple sugars like "sugar."
What are The three subcategories of carbohydrates?
sugars, glucose, starch in plants and glycogen
