                        1. Glycogen
                          1. Very little exists in food, glucose storage form for animals • Store glycogen in liver and muscles • Serves as an important energy reserve
                          2. starch
                            1. • Plant cells store glucose as starch • Two forms: amylose and amylopectin • Food sources: rice, oats, beans, lentils, potatoes
                            2. Fibers
                              1. Structural components of plants • Not available to humans as a source of energy • Either: soluble (viscous) or insoluble
                                1. Fibre helps us stay healthy • Promotes a feeling of fullness (satiety) • Reduces energy consumption • Acts as laxative, to prevent constipation • Reduces the risk of colon cancer • Lowers blood cholesterol - LDL
                            3. Digestion • Salivary amylase in mouth • Pancreatic amylase in small intestine • Intestinal enzymes – lactase, maltase, sucrase • Glucose, fructose and galactose are the final products
                              1. Absorption • Glucose, fructose and galactose absorbed into blood to be taken to the liver via the portal vein • Viscous fibre is fermented into various acids and gases by bacteria in the large intestine • Non-fermentable fibre escapes digestion and is excreted in faeces
                              2. Glycogenesis
                                1. Carbohydrate is stored in liver and muscle as glycogen
                                  1. During excess energy intake, excess carbohydrate is converted to glycogen but when glycogen stores are full, metabolism shifts so that more glucose is used for energy
                                    1. If that does not restore glucose balance then the liver converts breakdown products of glucose to fat which is transported to adipose tissue
                                  2. When is glucose required
                                    1. When a person has not eaten recently - glycogen will be broken down to release glucose
                                      1. As glucose availability and glycogen stores depleted, body switches to use fat, which can result in a building up of ketones - ketoacidosis • Occurs with prolonged fasting, very low carbohydrate diet , uncontrolled diabetes mellitus
                                    2. Glycaemic Index (GI)
                                      1. Glycaemic Index: A value that indicates the potential of foods to raise blood glucose and insulin levels  Glucose 100, Fructose 20, Sucrose 59, Maltose 100
                                    3. LIPIDS/FATS

                                                2. Saturated fats
