BIOCHEM PART 5 Flashcards
Glycoside aka
monosaccharide acetal
molecule which a carbon is contains hydroxyl group & ether group.
Hemiacetal
with 2 ether groups in a carbon atom
Acetal
If one of the hydroxyl groups of a monosaccharide is replaced with an amino group, an amino sugar is produced.
Amino acid formation
Amino derivative of monosaccharide in which 2 carbon is replace by amino group. Undergo N-acetylation they can be N-acetylglucosamine, N-acetylgalactosamine and N-acetylmannosamine
Amino acid formation

green/blue green color
General test for carbohydrates detects the presence of hydroxy methyl furfural & methyl furfural (that will be react to anthrone reagent)
Anthrone

General test for aldehyde
Tollen’s test
Test for reducing sugar. Use of strong alkali such as NaOH
Moore’s test

Caramel like odor
Class of a heterogenous group of compounds, which are more related by their physical than by their chemical properties
Lipids
Lipids physical property
Non polar, hydrophobic, liposoluble
Function of Lipids
- Act as coenzyme
- Important for homeostasis (process of maintaining a stable internal environment suitable for sustaining life
- Source of energy
- Thermal insulators
- Precursor of hormones
Exists freely in the body in their unesterified form and fatty acyl esters. Consists of hydrophobic hydrocarbon chain with a terminal carboxyl group. Made from acetyl CoA
Fatty acids
obtain from diet, cannot synthesize by the body
Essential fatty acids
Essential fatty acids examples
Linoleic acid (Omega 6), Linolenic acid (Omega 3)
Non essential fatty acids examples
Palmitic acid, Stearic acid
body is capable producing them
Non essential fatty acids
solid in room temperature
Saturated fatty acids
