Mary asks…

Where do the calories come from in metamucil?

all the carbohydrates listed are soluble fiber and dietary fiber…
5 carbohydrates = 20 calories, but since fiber cant be used as energy…. are the calories coming from an unlisted amount of protein?
I know the ingredients include maltodextrin which is a complex carbohydrate….
Is this where the calories are coming from the complex carbohydrates that they dont list?? Or would that be included in the total carbohydrates?

The package lists it like this..
total carbohydrates = 5 grams
Dietary fiber = 3 grams
soluble fiber =2 grams

just a little confused on how this will affect on my low carb diet…

admin answers:

Yes the calories come from the fiber, maltodextrin is a carbohydrate that does aid in energy, but since its a complex carbohydrate it does not effect blood insulin levels. One gram of carbohydrates has 4 calories, no matter what the source. There for, 5 carbs times 4 cals a carb= 20 cals.

admin answers:

1. What is RNA and explain what it does and aslo do the same wth DNA pelase and thank u .?

RNA is just single stranded. DNA is double stranded.

Just remember this: DNA is your genetic information, and it is the exact sequence to make protein. However, since it is so important data, that it need some “copy machine” to do the work.

So Before protein can be made, it needs to be transcipt to RNA, then translate to protein. You may want to check out central dogma. RNA have a few types. MRNA, tRNA, rRNA, etc. They are all required to make protein during the central dogma steps.

2. What are the six characteristics of living things?
They contain DNA or RNA(for virus only, but not consider as living thing) , Cell, organelles. They breathe, they eat, they metabolize and reproduces.

3. Diffence betweet simple adn complex carbohydrates?
What is adn?

4. Example of food source tht contains simple carbohydrates?

Glucose water?

5 Example of a food sourcethat contains complex carbohydrates?

Bread? Rice? Sweet potato? They need enzymes to change them into simple carbohydrates,

6. List the 5 building blocks of cell and describe one function of each……

Plant or animal cell?
DNA: genetic information for the organism to make protein
Cell membrane: protect the cell
Cytoskeleton: give the shape of the cell
mitochiondrion: Contain enzymes that break down ATP to ADP.
Cytoplasm: contain floating enzymes and chemical that helps make cell pH level and oxygen level, and water level.

7. Explain why an organism that lives in land has more complex mechanism to maintain homeostasis than one living in water.

If not, without homeostatsis mechanism, you tend to fall sick /die much easily because different temperature, pH, water level could kill you. Compared to organsim on water, temperature is more constant.

8. Explain why a single- celled organsim produces an offspring identical to itself . THEN summeriza the section phspholipids…

????? WHAT THE HELL? I see no link in this question.

Jenny asks…

Give at least 5 examples of enzymes and identify each enzyme’s substrate and reaction products?

An important step in utilizing complex carbohydrates as an energy source is to break their glycosidic linkage. This is necessary because the digestive system cannot absorb any carbohydrates larger than a monosaccharide. Compile a list of at least 5 enzymes that can accomplish this. Identify each enzyme’s substrate and reaction products. You may include enzymes found in any organisms…

HELP!!!

admin answers:

Http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycoside_hydrolase

Glycoside hydrolases are typically named after the substrate that they act upon. Thus glucosidases catalyze the hydrolysis of glucosides and xylanases catalyze the cleavage of the xylose based homopolymer xylan. Other examples include lactase, amylase, chitinase, sucrase, maltase, neuraminidase, invertase, hyaluronidase and lysozyme.

Bingo! 5 of these act in digestion.
Lactase, amylase, chitinase, sucrase, maltase (invertase too).

Lactase: the ?-glycosidic bond in D-lactose is hydrolyzed to form D-galactose and D-glucose.

Ken asks…

Calories and carbohydrates and losing weight… Soo confused, please help.?

Okay so somebody PLEASE help me. I have tons of questions about tons of stuff so i didn’t know what to do for with question. Well people say not to eat carbohydrates when your on a diet. But can’t you still with excercise?!?! Gosh, ppl are dumb then!!! And if you can’t eat carbohydrates then they say complex carbohydrates, but wouldn’t it be either or because of excersice?!?!!! Can’t they be specific? I need to lose weight and im confused with all these “buts” & “ifs” annd “howevers” goddamned people. And then websites say(they are true not lies) that an apple a day keeps doctor away and it’s okay to eat more than one apple a day?? Well i just found out that apparently apples have carbs or complex carbs whatever…. But I thought apples were healthy?! Now can’t eat them cause’ they have carbs! So can I eat more than one apple a day? Does it matter how much excersice i get could i still have 2 or 3 for a snack? What about tangerines and bananas? Can i have more than one a day? And same thing applies, does it matter how much excersice i get?? OBVIOUSLY, im not gonna get the EXACT same amount of excersice i get each day, it’s gonna be varied right?? Like if I do 5 hours of excersice one day at my barn and then the other I day I don’t go to the barn and instead I walk home from school and do some house work which is 1 or 2 hours, can i still have the fruit??? I heard fruit is so healthy so shouldn’t u be able to eat a lot????? Like geez, it’s better than chocolate…. And on a site it states… “Complex carbohydrates are mostly found in vegetables, nuts, grains, oat meals, and nuts. Listed below are some of the examples of complex carbohydrates food: 
Barley Oat bran bread Low fat yogurt Onions Zucchini Tomatoes Lentils Kidney beans Apples Grapefruits Pears Carrots Oranges, etc.,,
ughhh Im sorry I can’t finish the rest because there’s too much writing. :(

admin answers:

Hi,
Ok, right I am going to tell you something now. FORGET EVERYTHING YOU HAVE READ OR HEARD!!!! You are so confused you need to get back to basics ok.
Don’t worry about fruit being a carbohydrate, yes some have more sugar in than others, but it is better to eat an apple than tuck into cookies!
In UK we say high glycemic and low glycemic foods which I find more useful. So the higher the rating, the faster the sugar is absorbed into the blood stream.
So, go back to basics, think lots of veggies, lots of fruit, lean meat/fish whole grains, lots of water. Then allow yourself a tiny treat a day.
Hope this helps. More tips/advice? Just get back to me.

Charles asks…

What’s the difference between simple and complex carbohydrates?

And what are some healthier choices of simple and complex carbohydrates?

admin answers:

Complex are harder to break down. Simple break down much easier.
Complex carbs are like breads and rice
simple carbs are like sugars and candy.

They both give energy, but simple carbs give you instant boost, while complex give you gradual.

Complex carbs are way healthier than simple

Chris asks…

What is the Source of carbon used to make the complex carbohydrates in photosynthesis?

What is the Source of carbon used to make the complex carbohydrates in photosynthesis?
Biology Study guide question i could not find in the book. Please 10 points to best answer!

admin answers:

Just remember this very easy acronym CHON (pronounced KAWN)

C=Carbon
H=Hydrogen
O=Oxygen
N=Nitrogen

These are the essential 4 elements needed to sustain life.

In answering your question about the source of carbon, the plant can get it from both the air in the form of CO2 and also from the ground where the plant can absorb it from its roots. Additionally, the plant can get it from rain water that will deposit carbon on the leaves, stems and in the ground.

Richard asks…

Are whole wheat biscuits an example of complex carbohydrates?

Are whole wheat biscuits an example of complex carbohydrates? If not, what is a food that is an example of a complex carbohydrate that is easy to make?

admin answers:

The Whole Wheat part is not.

The biscuit part is. The Biscuit is made out of a bread of sorts, which is a complex carbohydrate.

So Yes. A Whole Wheat Biscuit is an example of a complex carb.

Helen asks…

What are the differences between simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates?

What are the differences between simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates in terms of physical properties and how the body uses them?
Can you name two complex carbohydrates and where you would find them in your diet?

admin answers:

The differences between simple and complex carbohydrates — and many of the popular weight-loss books seem to do all they can to muddy the waters even further.

Carbohydrates are one of three macronutrients that provide calories in our diets. The other two are protein and fat. Carbohydrates provide most of the energy needed in our daily lives, both for normal body functions such as heartbeat, breathing and digestion and for exercise such as biking, walking and running up the stairs.

Carbohydrates are considered simple or complex based upon their chemical structure.Both types contain four calories per gram,
and both are digested into a blood sugar called glucose, which can then be used to fuel our bodies for work or exercise.
Somehow, simple carbohydrates have become known as the “bad” carbohydrates, while complex carbohydrates seem to be designated as the “good” carbohydrates. But there is no real scientific or nutritional justification for these descriptions.

Simple carbohydrates are digested quickly. Many simple carbohydrates contain refined sugars and few essential vitamins and minerals. Examples include fruits, fruit juice, milk, yogurt, honey, molasses, maple syrup and sugar.
Complex carbohydrates take longer to digest and are usually packed with fiber, vitamins and minerals. Examples are vegetables, breads, cereals, legumes and pasta.
Most experts recommend that 50-60 percent of the total calories in our diet come from carbohydrates. The bulk of the carbohydrate choices should be complex carbs and most of the simple carbohydrate choices should come from fruits and milk or yogurt, which also contain vitamins and minerals. Avoid making the bulk of your carbohydrate choices from refined foods high in sugar, since they are usually low in the nutrients we need to maintain health and energy levels.

Mark asks…

What will be a good, in-expensive source of complex carbohydrates in a diet?

i am trying to include a load of ‘healthy’ carbs in my diet, only limited by high costs. i live in north america but pretty much open to different cultural foods.

admin answers:

Hi! Good for you for eating carbs!
Baked potatoes are a good source of healthy carbs because they also contain a lot of fiber. Different types of beans are also good (black beans, chick peas, navy (white) beans) and they, too, are a good source of fiber. Don’t go crazy with portion sizes, as these do contain a good amount of carbs. One small potato or 1/4 cup of beans are appropriate portion sizes. Pair these with salad greens and a source of low-fat protein and you have a great meal. Don’t forget to exercise daily to burn off any excess carbs your body doesn’t use naturally.

Laura asks…

What is the diff. between simple and complex carbohydrates?

What foods have what? And what does it matter if you are trying to lose/gain weight?

admin answers:

What are carbohydrates? Sugars, starches, fructose, sucrose, lactose, glucose, dextrose, waxy maise starch, corn starch, oatmeal, pasta, bread, oranges, apples, grapes, chicken, beef, turkey……….. Carbohydrates are found is just about anything. However, most of the world refers to sugars and starches when talking about carbohydrates. Some are simple carbohydrates and some are referred to as complex carbohydrates. What is the difference? Check out the carbohydrate telephone.

Take 2 cans, a piece of string and pull the string tight between the cans. Talk into one end and the person on the other end can hear you. Simple, effective, but only for short distances, not very durable and won’t last long with use. This is the perfect example of a simple carbohydrate.

White sugar, brown sugar, icing sugar, glucose, dextrose, fructose (found in fruit), maltodextrin, white rice, white bread, cookies, candies, soda pop and ice cream are all full of simple carbohydrates. They give fast energy, are easy to get, very cheap, effective for short bursts of energy, but not durable just like the tin can telephone. These types of carbohydrates do not typically keep blood sugar levels stable. Are they bad for you? NO

When you use them properly in your nutritional plan, they can be beneficial. Take too many and you get the “sugar rush” and the “crash” afterwards. You feel tired and blah! They are easily stored if you consume too many (fat gain).

Now, take apart your cellular phone. How much energy does it take? You have to remove the cover, take out the sim card, battery, antenna, led’s, wires and all the little doohickeys that are in there. Takes a lot of time and energy! This is a great way to describe complex carbohydrates. These should be the bulk of your carbohydrate intake every day.

Complex carbohydrates supply our body with a constant supply of energy and require more energy from the body to break apart. We don’t usually store it as fat as easily and foods with complex carbohydrates often have more vitamins and minerals than simple carbohydrates.

Sweet potatoes (yams), whole grain bread, whole grain pasta, quinoa, brown rice, steel cut oats, oatmeal, bran, cream of wheat type cereals, are all great sources of complex carbohydrates. Many also have protein and good fats.

The only time that is a good time to eat simple carbs is if you are having a cheat meal to stay sane, or you are having your post-workout meal. At this time your body needs the simple carbs to replenish blood sugar and muscle glycogen.

Complex carbs can be eaten anytime and especially before your workout to give you energy. Shoot for 200-300g of complex carbs a day for an active person. Shoot for 100g of protein and 40-60g of good fats!

Live life, enjoy food and have fun with it!

Charles asks…

what foods contain carbohydrates?

what foods are carbohydrates and complex carbs?
and also, why do you need carbohyrates?
and do they make you fat?
thanks in advance :)

admin answers:

Carbohydrates supply the body with the energy it needs to function. They are found almost exclusively in plant foods, such as fruits, vegetables, peas, beans and whole grains. Milk and milk products are the only foods derived from animals that contain a significant amount of carbohydrates.

Carbohydrates are divided into two groups-simple carbohydrates and complex carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates, sometimes called simple sugars, include fructose (fruit sugar), sucrose (table sugar), and lactose (milk sugar), as well as several other sugars. Fruits are one of the richest natural sources of simple carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates are also made up of sugars, but the sugar molecules are strung together to form longer, more complex chains. Complex carbohydrates include fiber and starches. Foods rich in complex carbohydrates include vegetables, whole grains, peas, and beans.

The above was taken from the following website. Its a great site to help you understand carbs. They are not the evil thing that people think they are.

Thomas asks…

list of complex carbohydrates?

admin answers:

Complex Carbohydrates = disaccharides, oligosaccharides & polysaccharides

Disaccharides

Sucrose · Lactose · Maltose · Trehalose · Turanose · Cellobiose

Oligosaccharides

Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) · Galactooligosaccharides (GOS) · Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS)

Polysaccharides

Glucose/Glucan: Glycogen · Starch (Amylose, Amylopectin) · Cellulose · Dextrin/Dextran · Beta-glucan (Zymosan, Lentinan, Sizofiran) · Maltodextrin

Fructose/Fructan: Inulin · Levan beta 2?6

Mannose/Mannan

Galactose/Galactan
N-Acetylglucosamine: Chitin

As sugars get more complex they are harder to break down. Human cannot digest cellulose, for example. Lactose is a fairly simple sugar, but those whose ancestry do not include milk drinkers are often lactose intolerant. Hunter gatherers, peoples of the cold North and peoples of arid countries. Either the did not have pastureland or they hunted-foraged.

John asks…

list and describe the uses of 3 complex carbohydrates?

i know the three are starch, cellulose, and glycogen, but i dont know how to describe then. its for a project,

admin answers:

Hi Dana, ur question is not clear for me. U want me to describe what starch/ cellulose / glycogen are? Or describe the uses of those. My English is not good. Sorry for it! But I’ll answer u in both ways!!!!

01. Describing what Starch is.

Starch is a polysacharide made of glucose molecules. Many glucose molecules bond each other by Glyco-cydic bonds and they form Starch. (in starch u can see both Amylose and Amylo pectene chains)

01.1 Uses of starch :

Starch is the main stored food in plants. Used as a respiratory substrate in plants.

02. Cellulose.

Cellulose is also a poly-saccharide made of glucose molecules. But in Cellulose u see Beta-glucose, unlike in starch or Glycogen where u see Alpha-glucose. So cellulose is more stronger than starch and Glycogen.

02.1. Uses.

Cellulose is the main structural component in plant cell walls.
Cellulose is the most available organic compound in the nature. (in animal bodies, its proteins)

03. Glycogen: Same as starch. Only different is in glycogen u only see Amylo pectene chains, no Amylose chains.

03.1. Uses

The main stored food in Fungi, But most important thing is u can find it as a stored food in animal liver and in animal tissues( Main type of stored food in animals is Fat, not glycogen) …

Tc. Bye. Study well.

Laura asks…

Which of the following complex carbohydrates is listed with its correct function?

Complex Carbohydrates vs. Simple Carbohydrates?

I know that complex carbs are better for me but that is about the limit of my knowledge! Can anyone tell me why?
I would also much appreciate it if someone can perhaps list foods that contain complex carbohydrates in it.

Thank you for any response!

admin answers:

Complex carbs take longer to break down in the body, so the insulin response is slower. Simple carbs break down very quick and cause your blood sugar to spike and drop, like a yo-yo.

Grains such as cereals, pastas, breads, and rice.

Lizzie asks…

What are some foods that have alot of proteins, complex carbohydrates, amino acids, minerals,& vitamins?

Group the foods that have one of the things i named

admin answers:

Any meat products definitely have a lot of protein, even peanut butter! Also fish (6 ounces has 40 grams), eggs (a serving of 3 large eggs have 21 grams of protein), cheese (cottage cheese has 15 grams in every half cup), nuts (1/4 cup of almonds have 5 grams of protein), and beans. (a one cup serving of raw soybeans have 33 grams of protein).

Foods high in complex carbohydrates are include bagels, beans, brown bread, brown rice, corn, high fiber breakfast cereals, macaroni, oatmeal, pasta, peas, potatoes, shredded wheat, whole meal bread, wholegrain cereals, and yams.

Foods high in amino acids include vegetables like spinach, turnips, lettuce, carrots, radishes, cabbage, onions, beetroots, cucumbers and all green leaves. Fruits such as pomegranates, melons, oranges, apples, pineapple, papaya, grapes, raspberries and plums are all rich sources of amino acids. Some food garnishes such as mint, garlic, ginger and almonds also contain high percentages of amino acids.

Foods high in minerals and vitamins include apples, bananas, squash, peas, almonds, macadamia nuts, chestnuts, milk and its products, fortified orange juice, beef, poultry, seafood, nuts, legumes such as beans and grain products, oranges, peaches, sunflower seeds, peanuts, cashews, avocados, sweet potatoes, green leafy vegetables, legumes, kiwis, and blackberries.

What would be the definition of ‘complex carbohydrates’?

admin answers:

They are carbohydrates that are difficult to break down during digestion, so it takes longer to digest them as opposed to simple carbs.

Mary asks…

What’s the meaning of “a.o. carbohydrates”?

Inulin and oligofructose as novel dietary fibers might have significant consequences for nutrition labeling systems.In most countries, these substances have pushed the experts to reconsider the definitions of a.o. carbohydrates, complex carbohydrates and dietary fiber ,

admin answers:

Your question comes from a paper in the Journal of Nutrition written by an author with an address in Tienen, Belgium, which is in the Dutch-speaking Flanders region of Belgium. People who speak Dutch use a.o. To mean “among others” when they write in English.

Your Questions About Complex Carbohydrates Diabetes

Posted on by

Donald asks…

complex carbohydrates and diabetes?

Can you get diabetes from complex carbohydrates and if so how?

admin answers:

NO! There is no food that causes diabetes, not sugar, not carbohydrates (either complex or simple), not candy, not soda…
There is nothing that you eat which causes diabetes.

Ruth asks…

what kind of complex carbohydrates could we recommend in diabetes?

admin answers:

Look for foods high in fiber and whole grains: whole wheat, beans, nuts, fruits, vegetables, etc. Avoid (limit since they are hard to eliminate from your diet) simple carbs like white sugar, white bread and white potatoes.

Charles asks…

carbohydrate intake recommendations between persons with insulin resistance and persons with Type 2 diabetes?

What statement below best describes the carbohydrate intake
recommendations between persons with insulin resistance and persons with Type 2 diabetes?

a. Persons with Type 2 diabetes should eat more complex carbohydrates than persons with insulin resistance should.

b. Persons with insulin resistance should eat more complex carbohydrates than persons with Type 2 diabetes should.

c. Carbohydrate intake recommendations for persons with Type 2 diabetes are more tailor-made than for persons with insulin resistance.

d. There is no difference between carbohydrate recommendations.

admin answers:

Actually there should be one more catagory!!
E. Carbohydrate intake should be custom tailored for both persons with Type 2 and for insulin resistance.

So from the bad choices you give, answer D is the most correct!

Nancy asks…

Did Japanese people eat mostly brown rice in 1925?

I understand that white rice is a simple carbohydrate and that brown rice is a complex carbohydrate.

I understand that diabetes is associated with eating too many simple carbohydrates, but that complex carbohydrates are not a problem.

There is a chart in The China Study which shows that Japanese people in 1925 had a high carbohydrate intake (doesn’t say simple or complex) of 88% of calories, and that their diabetes death rate was an extremely low 2/100,000.

Were Japanese people eating white or brown rice is 1925?

admin answers:

Eating white rice is a very small factor because it diabetes is requires a significantly high glucose level in your body. Rice is really healthy and it doesn’t play a big factor if you don’t have diabetes however if you have diabetes, you can’t eat white rice. Many people get diabetes because they eat to much sugar. Japanese people ate very healthy at those times and they eat much healthier than the US now. Most of the food in Japan is much healthier than the US.

I pretty sure they didn’t eat brown rice.

Laura asks…

What diet to prevent diabetes?

Diabetes seems to be the disease everyone is getting these days. I keep hearing different things about diets; that one should either not eat ANY carbohydrates, do not eat ANY sugar, others says only refined sugar, still others say complex carbohydrates are ok, etc. Pretty soon, I expect to hear tht all food leads to diabetes and the best chance of avoiding it is to not eat anything. Short of that, I am trying to work out a diet plan where I can safely eat the same thing every day for the rest of my life and not get diabetes. I my job/lifestyle is relatively sedentary. What foods to stay away from?

admin answers:

The best thing you can do is exercise regularly (3-5x/week for 20-30 min each time, can also break it up over the day) and maintain a healthy weight. While there are thin type 2 diabetes, the vast majority are overweight. The excess weight contributes to insulin resistance, where you need a lot of insulin to accomplish the same thing as some body who is not insulin resistant. You can be insulin resistant for years and years without developing type 2 diabetes, but almost all type 2 diabetes are insulin resistant. Exercise (even without weight loss) helps to reduce insulin resistance. If you can’t get down to a healthy weight, even losing a few pounds will help reduce your risk.

Finally, diet is important. I wouldn’t worry so much about carbs and other things. Just focus on eating plenty of fruits and vegetables (preferably not fried or with a ton of butter), lean protein, whole grains instead of white/processed products, and healthy fats (avoid trans fats, keep saturated fats to a minimum). And, the more you can eat and cook from scratch the better. Generally speaking, processing isn’t good and it tends to take the nutrients out of products.
