1 Glucose

W

The food that plant produces during photosynthesisis are

known as Glucose, fructose and sucrose. Sucrose are

found in sugarcane. The crystalline sugar that we eat is

mainly sucrose. Fructose is found in many fruits.

Glucose is the simplest Carbohydrate. It is known as

blood sugar and it is the one that is available to all the

cells through the blood flowing in our body.

The brain activities are enhanced by Glucose i.e

brain cells needs Glucose for its good performance.

Thus, both oxygen and sugar is transported to the

cells via bloodstream where the cells use oxygen during

its respiration to burn the sugar and release energy for

our day to day work. Lot of oxygen is required during

this process.

Hence, the importance of Glucose and

Carbohydrates. Mostly, all fruits and vegetables contain

sugar.

What happens when there's no glucose? The body

turns to Fats and Protein resources for energy.

the cells. It is required for the proper growth and

development of the human body.They are found

acids that we get from the animals and/or plants.

3 Complex

Carbohydrates

W Simple Carbohydrates are those that contain single

sugar molecules while Complex Carbohydrates are those

that contain three or more sugar molecules in a chain. Complex Carbohydrates gives us vitamins,

minerals and fibre. Some of the examples of the same

are rice, bread, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, mushroom,

corn, onions, barley, wheat etc. While the digestion of Sugars ( simple

carbohydrates) is simple as they are direct source of

energy, that of Starch (complex carbohydrates) is

complex. It requires to breakdown the Complex

Carbohydrates into sugar during digestion. Therefore,

digestion of Starch does not affect the blood sugar level

directly as does the digestion of Sugar. Some examples of Starchy vegetables are potatoes,

cucumber, broccolis etc. Fibre obtained from Starch and other sources are

good for bowel functions and movements. It improves

bowel's health and helps you in losing weight. Vitamins and Minerals are vital for the proper

growth and development of the body and immune

system. Eg. Vitamin C increases resistance to cough and

cold. Vitamin E is good for skin while Vitamin A is

good for eyesight. Vitamins are either fat soluble (A,

D,E, K) can be stored in the body or water soluble (C

and B complex) that passes out of the body. Minerals

are inorganic elements unlike Vitamins and are found in

the soil from where we get access to them via plants or

animals.
