B1 Flashcards
how many bonds can carbon form?
4
hyrdolysis
the breakiing down of larger substances into smaller ones releasing water as it does it
when is hyroysis used and an example
digesting food
- polypeptide + water = ammino acids
what is carb nomoculture
when we name carbs; usually as monosaccharies single sugars
oligosaccaridies 3-10 monos
and
polysaccharies 10 plus
they are all made up of carbons attached to other stuff
glucose is a
monosaccharide
when carbs condense what type of bond forms
glycosyllic
alpha glucose OH
both oh on carbon 1 and 4 is facing downwards
beta glucose oh
the oh on carbon one is facing up on carbon 4 is facing down
what type of glucose are most living things?
alpha
what is an example of beta glucose
cellulose; cellulose microfibrils
structure of beta glucose
they can lie flat making them strong ang hydrogen bonds can form wich is why its used in cellulose
three properties of glucose
- soluable in water
- releases energy
- stores energy
example of disaccardie in humans
lactose wich is sugar in milk good for babies
example of disaccaride in plants
sucrose transports suagrs w its polarity
example os polypeptide in humans
glycogen stroes energy
example os polypeptide in plants
cellulose provides strcture for walls
when bonds from 1-4 what is the structure plus an example
- amylose
- a helix spiral
when bonds form also on the 1-6 and 1-4 structure plus example
- amylopectin
- a helix spiral with branches
glycoproteins plus glycolipids are compounds where the sugar/carb sticks out allowing for what?
cell-to-cell recognition
macromolecule :carbohydrates (polysaccharides)
monomer : monosacharides
macromolecules : lipids
monomer : fatty acids, glycerol,
macromolecules : proteins (polypeptides)
monomer : ammino acids
macromolecules : nucelic acids
monomer : nucleotides
carbs + polypeptides
glycoproteins
