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.

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
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
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
Fruits Consume a variety of fruits and no more than one-third of the recommended intake as fruit juice
Vegetables Choose a variety of vegetables from all five subgroups several times a week
Fiber • Soluble • Insoluble

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
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
Diverticulosis • Diverticulitus diverticula colon
Grains Make at least half of the grain selections whole grains
Solid Fats and Added Sugars Limit intakes of food and beverages with solid fats and added sugars
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
Protein Structure • Chain of Amino Acids • Held Together by Peptide Bonds • Has 4 Levels of Structure • Primary • Secondary • Tiertiary • Quarternary
Muscle Tissue • Skeletal • Muscle Tissue • Smooth • Muscle Tissue • Cardiac • Muscle Tissue
Connective Tissue • Cartilage • Bone • Adipose Tissue
Membrane Proteins Cell Proteins serve many different purposes
Enzymes Catalyze chemical reactions

Legumes Seed pods (peas), where nitrogen is stored Root nodules, which capture nitrogen
Meatless Protein? Fig. 6-13, p. 195
Meat, Poultry, Fish, Dried Peas and Beans, and Nuts Make lean or low-fat choices
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
