Carbohydrate Monosaccharide Disaccharide Polysaccharide
Lactose
Fiber
Glucose

Select whether each carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, disaccharide, or polysaccharide.

A chocolate bar is an example of a (simple or complex carbohydrate) that will (increase blood sugar levels quickly/ increase blood sugar levels slowly) because it is comprised of (monosaccharides / polysaccharides).

Uncle Bens is an example of a (simple or complex carbohydrate) that will (increase blood sugar levels quickly/ increase blood sugar levels slowly) because it is comprised of (monosaccharides / polysaccharides).

Dietary fiber is also an important consideration when discussing the impact of carbohydrate sources on blood sugar levels. In this example, a candy bar is a (good or poor source) of fiber and whole-grain pasta or rice is a (good or pour source) of fiber.

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by too much glucose buildup in the blood. In (type 1 / type 2) diabetes, this is because the target cells of the body become resistant to the effects of (insulin / glucagon); in later stages of this type of diabetes, the pancreas begins to fail as well. In (type 1 / type 2) diabetes, this is because there are a decreased number of (alpha / beta) cells available to secrete insulin; this results in an insufficient amount of insulin to meet the demands of the body.

Now, choose the individual who would most likely need insulin injections:

a. a 10-year old child with type 1 diabetes

b. a 65-year old morbidly obese man who has just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes

c. a 40-year old runner with arthritis

d. an overweight teenager whose grandfather has diabetes

Solutions

Expert Solution

Lactose is a disaccharide

Fibre is a polysaccharide

Glucose is a monosaccharide

A chocolate bar is an example of a simple carbohydrate that will increase blood sugar levels slowly because it is comprised of polysaccharides.

In this example, a candy bar is a poor source of fiber and whole-grain pasta or rice is a good source of fiber.

Diabetes mellitus is characterized by too much glucose buildup in the blood. In type 2 diabetes, this is because the target cells of the body become resistant to the effects of insulin; in later stages of this type of diabetes, the pancreas begins to fail as well. In type 1 diabetes, this is because there are a decreased number of beta cells available to secrete insulin; this results in an insufficient amount of insulin to meet the demands of the body.

A 10-year old child with type 1 diabetes would most likely be needing the insulin injections because his body is unable to produce the insulin.
