Answer 1

how are carbohydrates classified

carbohydrates are classified on the basis of numbers of aldehyde or ketone groups present. for example - monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

what enzyme is required for carbohydrate digestion

salivary amylase. organ produced in - salivary gland. secreted into - mouth. function - broke down complex carbohydrates into simple sugars.

what form of carbohydrates are absorbed?

monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream.

cause of lactose intolerance

deficiency of lactase enzyme

treatment of lactose intolerance

avoidance of dairy products.

what causes ketosis

when the body does not have sufficient glucose as the fuel for energy.

the hormone involved in lowering the blood glucose level

insulin

the hormone involved in raising the blood glucose level

glucagon

what glycemic index measures?

how quickly the food causes the blood glucose level rise.

in what form can glucose be converted to for storage in the body

glycogen
