1.2.6 - The Glycosidic Bond Flashcards
How Are Monosaccharides Made More Suitable For Storage?
When they are bonded together to form disaccharides and polysaccharides.
Why Do Polysaccharides Have Less Influence On The Process Of Osmosis?
Because they are insoluble.
How Are Disaccharides & Polysaccharides Formed?
When 2 hydroxyl (OH) groups on different monosaccharides interact to form a glycosidic bond.
What Are The 2 Types Of Glycosidic Bonds?
(2 Points)
~ 1,4.
~ 1,6.
How Is A 1,4 Glycosidic Bond Formed?
When the OH groups are located on carbon 1 of one monosaccharide and carbon 4 of the other.
How Is A 1,6 Glycosidic Bond Formed?
When the OH groups are located on the carbon 1 of one monosaccharide and carbon 6 of the other.
With Regards To Water Molecules, What Does Every Glycosidic Being Formed Result In?
One molecule of water being released.
How Are Glycosidic Bonds Formed?
Via a condensation reaction.
What Are Examples Of Disaccharides Being Formed From The Joining Of 2 Monosaccharides?
(3 Points)
~ Maltose.
~ Sucrose.
~ Lactose.
How Is Maltose Formed?
Glucose + Glucose
How Is Sucrose Formed?
Glucose + Fructose
How Is Lactose Formed?
Glucose + Galactose
How Is The Glycosidic Bond Broken?
When water is added in a hydrolysis reaction.
