Complex carbohydrates not broken down by digestive processes are?
dietary fiber
What is glycogen broken down into?
Glycogen is broken down in the blood by the help of glucagon. It is then transferred into the cells by insulin.
What are functions of complex carbohydrates?
1. Starch (Complex Carbohydrate) is broken down by the body into sugars that can be used by the body. 2. Glucose (Complex Carbohydrate) can be broken down to provide a quick source of glucose.
Two types of carbohydrates are?
The two types of carbohydrates are simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates are referred to as fast-acting carbohydrates. Sugars are considered simple carbohydrates. Starches are considered complex carbohydrates.
What is the function of complex carbohydrates?
1. Starch (Complex Carbohydrate) is broken down by the body into sugars that can be used by the body. 2. Glucose (Complex Carbohydrate) can be broken down to provide a quick source of glucose.
What are fats proteins and carbohydrates broken down into?
Proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates are broken down into sugars and fats are broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.
When large complex carbohydrates are broken down into individual molecules of sugar (glucose) is this a new substance being made?
Yes, it is correct.
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.
Name the enzyme that breaks down carbohydrate?
Complex carbohydrates are broken down by the enzymes, salivary amylase, pancreatic amylase, and maltose. Simple carbohydrates on the other hand require little or none of these enzymes to break down.
What are the carbohydrates called when broken down into smaller molecules?
Carbohydrates are generally broken down into glucose which your cells use as fuel. They can also be broken down into fructose and galactose.
Can macromolecules be broken down by hydrolysis?
Yes, macromolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, and fats can be broken down by hydrolysis. Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction that uses water to break down complex molecules into smaller components. For example, proteins are broken down into amino acids, carbohydrates into sugars, and fats into fatty acids and glycerol.
When carbohydrates are broken down what is it called?
hydrolysis
