Answer 2

Glycosidic Bond

Question 3

Name of the reaction that takes place to form a Disaccharide?

Answer 3

Condensation Reaction

Question 4

General Formula of Monosacchardies?

(CH2O)n

Question 5

General Formula of Disacchardies?

Answer 5

Cn(H20)n-1

Question 6

Strucutre of Amylopectin? And type of Bonding?

Answer 6

Branched Structure, C-1 to C-4 and C-1 to C-6 Glycosidic Bonds

Question 7

Structure of Amylose?

Answer 7

Spiral, C-1 to C-4 Gylocosidic Bonds

Question 8

Usage of Polysacchardies?

Answer 8

Energy storage

Question 9

Usage of Monosaccharides?

Answer 9

Provide energy

Question 10

Why is glycogen hydrolised more rapidly than amylopectin?

Answer 10

Glycogen is more branched than amylopectin - it has more 1,6 glycosidic bonds

Question 11

Describe the function of monosaccharides in relation to their structure.

Answer 11

They are small, soluble, single monomers, and provide instant energy, substrate in respiration.

Question 12

Describe the function of disaccharides in relation to their structure.

Answer 12

They are rapidly converted into glucose by hydrolysis, and therefore provide instant energy

Question 13

Describe the function of polysaccharides in relation to their structure.

Answer 13

Large chains of molecules, can have spiral or branched structure - used for storage of energy. Compact - so that more can be stored in less space.
Insoluble, no osmotic effect.
