BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Complex carbohydrates-or starches-have longer-chained sugars and fiber, and they take longer to digest. These include whole-grain breads and pastas, peas, beans and legumes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Complex carbohydrates: Many complex carbohydrate foods contain fiber, vitamins and minerals, and they take longer to digest – which means they have less of an immediate impact on blood sugar, causing it to rise more slowly.

Detailed explanation-3: -Complex carbohydrates are digested more slowly and supply a lower more steady release of glucose into the blood stream. As with simple sugars, some complex carbohydrate foods are better choices than others. Refined grains, such as white flour and white rice, have been processed, which removes many nutrients and fiber.

Detailed explanation-4: -Soluble fiber attracts water and turns to gel during digestion. This slows digestion. Soluble fiber is found in oat bran, barley, nuts, seeds, beans, lentils, peas, and some fruits and vegetables. It is also found in psyllium, a common fiber supplement.

Detailed explanation-5: -Starch and fiber are different types of polysaccharide, with an important difference. Humans have enzymes that allow it to digest starch, but fiber is indigestible and passes through the digestive system to the gut microbiota, which can digest it.
