Carbohydrates

Learn about the different types of carbohydrates, their role in the body, and their importance in a healthy diet. Explore the functions of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, as well as the benefits of consuming fruits, vegetables, and dietary fiber. Discover the difference between white bread and whole grain, and the impact of a high-fiber diet. Plus, find out how carbohydrates affect gallbladder function and the risks of diverticulosis.

Presentation Transcript


  1. Carbohydrates • are the most abundant macromolecules of life • are made up entirely of C, H, O • Functions of Carbohydrates are: • Plant Structure • cellulose gives structure to many plant walls • Immediate Energy Needs • carbohydrates are broken down to glucose • glucose is used to make ATP (adenosine triphosphate) • ATP is the body's energy currency • Long-Term Energy Storage • glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles

  2. Monosaccharides • Glucose • main source of our fuel • formed by plants • found in many foods • C6H12O6 • Galactose • forms lactose • Fructose • found in fruit/honey • Ribose • found in RNA • Deoxyribose • found in DNA

  3. Disaccharides

  4. Polysaccharides • Starch • plant energy storage • found in potatoes, rice • corn and wheat • Glycogen • animal energy storage • Cellulose • plant structure • source of dietary fiber • Chitin • found in insects and • crustacean shells

  5. Fruits Consume a variety of fruits and no more than one-third of the recommended intake as fruit juice

  6. Vegetables Choose a variety of vegetables from all five subgroups several times a week

  7. Dietary Fiber

  8. Fiber • Soluble • Insoluble

  9. husk (chaff) beard What’s in White Bread? head What’s in Whole Grain? kernels bran (14%) endosperm (83%) • Endosperm • Germ • Endosperm • Bran • Husk germ (2.5%) stem a kernel of wheat a wheat plant root

  10. Gallbladder stores bile 2. 1. Liver uses blood cholesterol to make bile High-Fiber Diet 3. Intestine: bile aids digestion; binds to fiber 5. A little cholesterol in bile reabsorbed into the blood 4. Fiber and bile excreted in feces

  11. Gallbladder stores bile 2. 1. Liver uses blood cholesterol to make bile Low-Fiber Diet 3. Intestine: bile aids digestion 5. Much of the cholesterol in bile absorbed into the blood 4. Little bile excreted

  12. Diverticulosis • Diverticulitus diverticula colon

  13. Table 4-4, p. 111

  14. Fig. 4-9, p. 112

  15. Grains Make at least half of the grain selections whole grains

  16. The Added Sugar Problem

  17. Watch for Refined Sugars

  18. Solid Fats and Added Sugars Limit intakes of food and beverages with solid fats and added sugars

  19. Proteins • are composed of chains of amino acids held together by peptide bonds • are polymers made from a set of 20 monomers or amino acids • The Function of Proteins are: • Body and Cellular Support • collagen in your skin, hair, bones, and arteries provide strength • CAM (cell adhesion molecule) proteins anchor cells together • Organ and Body Movement • actin and myosin filaments in muscle regulate muscle contraction • Cellular Communication • receptors, hormones, and MHCproteins allow cellular communicate • Transportation of Nutrients • hemoglobin carries oxygen via red blood cells throughout the body • Regulation of Physiological Functions • enzymes, hormones, and neurotransmitters regulate many activities

  20. Protein Structure • Chain of Amino Acids • Held Together by Peptide Bonds • Has 4 Levels of Structure • Primary • Secondary • Tiertiary • Quarternary

  21. Essential Amino Acids

  22. Peptide Bonds

  23. Teeth

  24. Muscle Tissue • Skeletal • Muscle Tissue • Smooth • Muscle Tissue • Cardiac • Muscle Tissue

  25. Connective Tissue • Cartilage • Bone • Adipose Tissue

  26. Membrane Proteins Cell Proteins serve many different purposes

  27. Enzymes Catalyze chemical reactions

  28. Protein Sources Fig. 6-17, p. 204

  29. Legumes Seed pods (peas), where nitrogen is stored Root nodules, which capture nitrogen

  30. Fig. 6-18, p. 205

  31. Meatless Protein? Fig. 6-13, p. 195

  32. Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dried Peas and Beans, and Nuts Make lean or low-fat choices

  33. Lipids • are non-polar molecules and are therefore not soluble in water • Functions of Lipids are: • Cell Structure • phospholipids and cholesterol make-up each cell's plasma membrane • Long-Term Energy Storage • triglycerides are stored in adipose or "fat" tissue • Hormonal Regulation • steroid hormones regulate reproduction • Organ Protection • fats surround organs and offer protection from wear and tear • Insulation • fats fill the outer layers of the body to insulate us from cold temperatures

  34. 1. Triglycerides
