carbo Flashcards
monomer
single subunit of a polymer
polymer
many monomers build a large molecule
dehydrated/condensation synthesis
formation of large molecules by removal of water monomers are joined to formed polymers
take energy
hydrolysis
breakdown of large molecule by addition of water. Polymers break into monomers
gives off energy
carbohydrate ratio
1:2:1 ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen
carb examples
sucrose, starch, glucose
carbs can be used to build and store
strong structure, energy
monosaccharide
single carbo unit
contain a carbonyl and a aldehyde or ketone
monosac are named after carbon backbone for example 3,4,5,6
triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose
glucose frequency
most common monosaccharide
galactose relation to glucose
Stereoisomer
frutose relation to glucose
Structural isomer
aldose
carbo with an aldehyde
ketose
carbo with a ketone
disaccharides
2 monosac linked with a covalent bond (glycosidic bond catalyzed by enzymes)
