Q

What are polysaccharides

A

Polymers of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds which are formed by condensation reactions

22
Q

What are disaccharides

A

2 monosaccharides formed by a condensation reaction

23
Q

Main polysaccharides

A

plants: starch, cellulose
animals: glycogen

24
Q

Starch has 2 different structural units

A

amylose, amylopectin

25
Starch stored as
Intercellular grains in organelles called plastids
26
Starch made from
glucose during photosynthesis
27
Starch broken down
during respiration > energy
28
Glycogen found in
the cytoplasm of animal cells
29
Glycogen is a
storage carbohydrate
30
Differences between starch and glycogen
glycogen has more branches
31
Glycogen stored where
in large amounts in the liver and muscle cells
32
Cellulose
A polysaccharide which is the most abundant organic polymer and is the main part of cell walls
33
Cellulose characteristic
very strong so prevents cells from bursting from osmotic gain
34
Cellulose structural feature
made up of long, straight chains of beta glucose chains joined by hydogen bonds (weak) = microfibrils
35
Cell wall can function as a
a carbohydrate store
36
Amylopectin chains
highly branched chains side branches glucose released quickly
37
Amylose chains
unbranched chains coiled structure compact good storage
38
Test for reducing sugars
Benedict's test
39
Benedict's solution colour change
blue > brick red
40
Iodine test
orange > blue/black
41
Test for starch
Iodine test
42
Polymers
Large, complex molecules composed of long chains of monomers joined together
43
Monomers
Small, basic molecular units
44
Elements in all carbohydrates
C,H,O
45
Condensation reaction
Two molecules join together by the formation of a new chemical bond and a water molecule is released when the bond is formed
46
Bond between 2 monosaccharides formed
glycosidic bond
47
Main energy storage material in plants
starch
48
Main energy storage material in animals
glycogen
49
How is glycogen's structure helpful
loads of side branches stored glucose can be released quickly very compact good for storage
50
Cellulose provides | due to
structural support | micro fibrils
