Kia ora. This week for writing our project was to create a presentation about sugar. Here is one slide from my presentation that my teacher said met the success criterion: Less is more. This means don't use too many words or images on one page.
What food class does sugar belong to?
The food that we call sugar is a carbohydrate (car-bow-hy-drate) called sucrose (soo-krose), which is made up from 2 smaller carbohydrates – fructose (fruk-toze) and glucose (gloo-coze). Glucose is used by our body for energy, and fructose is quickly changed into glucose in our body.
Carbohydrates give our bodies energy. Sugar can be absorbed very quickly by the body and used as energy. The body stores the energy it does not need as glycogen (gly-co-jen) in the liver.
