What foods digest the fastest?
Foods that are low in fat and fiber, such as white bread, white rice, and fruits like watermelon and cantaloupe, tend to digest more quickly. Other examples include lean proteins like chicken and fish, and simple carbohydrates like processed sugars.
What is another name for a single carbohydrate?
Monosaccharides, or more commonly glucose, galactose and fructose.
Are monosaccharides usually found in cyclic forms?
Yes, monosaccharides can exist in both linear and cyclic forms. In aqueous solutions, monosaccharides often convert to their cyclic forms, particularly in the case of glucose and fructose. The cyclic form is more stable due to the formation of an intramolecular hemiacetal or hemiketal bond.
Why can more complex sugars polysaccharides store more energy than a monosachride?
There are more bonds in disaccharides. They are made up of two monosaccharides
What is the name of the biomolecule that is formed when 3 or more monosaccharides are combined?
The biomolecule formed when 3 or more monosaccharides are combined is called a polysaccharide. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates and serve as storage molecules (such as starch and glycogen) or structural components (such as cellulose) in living organisms.
