Q: Which of the following is the main end product of carbohydrate digestion?
  • A. Fats
  • B. Lipids
  • C. Glucose
  • D. Cellulose
Correct Answer: Option C - Glucose is the main end product of carbohydrate digestion. Glucose is a monosaccharide containing six carbon atoms and an aldehyde group, glucose is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of the plants in its free state. Fat usually means any ester of fatty acids or a mixture of such compounds, most commonly those that occur in living beings or in food. Most common fatty acids in human diet are unsaturated or mono-unsaturated. Lipid is chemically defined as a substance that is insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, ether and chloroform. Cholesterol and triglycerides are lipids. Cellulose is an important structural component of the primary cell wall of green plants, many forms of algae and the oomycetes.
