COMPLEX SUGARS

Complex sugars are of two types—polysaccha-rides and disaccharides.

POLYSACCHARIDES — A chain or series of linked monosaccharides or
disaccharides. They can consist of a few or many saccharide bonds.
Polysaccharides, when hydro lyzed, yield over twenty monosaccharides.
Polysaccharides include two groups, starch and cellulose.

Starch: starch, glycogen, dextrin, insulin

Cellulose: cellulose, hemicelluloses (pento-saniek)

Digestive and metabolic By-Products of Carbohydrates

NUTRITIVE PRODUCTS

Glucose = energy

Fructose = energy

Galactose = energy (infancy)

Glycogen = stored fat for future energy needs

Water

Fatty acids = secondary response

Amino acids = secondary response

TOXIC BY-PRODUCTS

Pyretic acid

Lactic acid

Carbon dioxide

CARBON CAUSED ACIDOSIS ELIMINATION

oxidized by oxygen

bonded to various mineral salts to form non-acid compounds

carbon dioxide conversion to bicarbonate

DISACCHARIDES — Complex sugars having two monosaccharides linked
together. Disaccharides include three groups, maltose, lactose, sucrose.
