Question

H, which foods contain simple carbs (sugars)? which contain digestible complex carbs? How are simple and digestible complex carbs different chemically? How are they digested differently? Fiber is not digestible because we lack the enzymes in our digestive tract to break them down. However, it is beneficial to our diets to eat fiber containing foods. Why? l. J. If you went on a low carb diet, name 5 foods usually in your diet which are high in carbohydrate content that you would eliminate K. Lactose is a sugar found in several foods, notably dairy products. Some people are "lactose intolerant". What does this mean? What symptoms do lactose intolerant people suffer after eating foods containing lactose? Describe how these symptoms arise; in other words, what is the cause of these symptoms? 9 3. Proteins: A. Which of the food components in your meal contain protein? B. Where is protein first digested chemically? By what enzyme? c. What happens to proteins exposed to hydrochloric acid in the stomach? D. Does the pancreas release any enzymes that chemically digest protein? If yes, name it (them)

Explanation / Answer

H.

Foods containing simple carbohydrate: Fruit juice (Fructose, sucrose), Honey(fructose), corn syrup (glucose), Milk, Cake

Foods containing complex carbohydrate: Bread, Legume, Rice, Pasta,

Simple carbohydrate vs Complex carbohydrate ( chemical difference)

Simple carbohydrate (ie mono and disaccharides) need one step of no enzymatic digestion by intestinal enzymes. And are directly absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches to the cell for cellular level metabolism to obtain energy.

Whereas complex carbohydrates like starch need multiple enzymatic degradation steps to be converted into simple carbohydrate to be absorbed into the bloodstream. These complex carbohydrates are step by step degraded into simpler monosaccharide to be absorbed into the lacteals.

I. Fibers are essential because:

Fibers in the intestine draw water from the intestinal mucosa. This actually maintains the intestinal hydration and homeostasis. This helps in normal stool formation and their smooth passage through the large intestine.

Fibers may reduce the cholesterol level in blood.

Fibers slow down the carbohydrate absorption from the intestine, thereby helping in the control of sugar in diabetes, reduce inflammation in Inflammatory bowel syndrome.

Helps in maintaining a healthy weight by reducing sugar absorption.

J. White rice, Sweet Potatoes, Pasta, Soft drinks ( ie coke), pastries, Fruit juice.

H.

In lactose intolerant patient, there is either low/ inadequate(quantitative) lactase ( enzyme that breaks lactose) or poor quality of lactase which leads to inadequate digestion of consumed lactose--> non digested lactose is not absorbed in the lacteals and this unabsorbed lactose is fermented by intestinal bacteria ---> produces gas, organic acids(ie. lactic acids etc) ---> this gas and organic acids leads to intestinal inflammation and irritation---> results in abdominal distension, abdominal pain, abnormal bowel production and movement( diarrhea, constipation).

Chemically they are monosaccharides( glucose, fructose, galactose) or disaccharides (sucrose, lactose, maltose) Chemically this polysaccharide where multiple monosaccharides are connected via saccharide chain.                                Disaccharides can be further digested to monosaccharides, but monosaccharides cannot be further digested and can be directly utilized by cells Need to be digested into monosaccharides to be utilized by the cells.
