Carbohydrate 11-4-13 Flashcards
(sucrose/lactose/maltose/isomaltose)
glucose + fructose (table sugar)
sucrose
(sucrose/lactose/maltose/isomaltose)
-galactose + glucose (milk & dairy products)
lactose
(sucrose/lactose/maltose/isomaltose)
glucose + glucose
maltose, and isomaltose
monosaccharide has (4/5) asymmetic carbons
4
(D/L) enantiomer is when asymmetric C
farthest from carbonyl has OH on left
L
(D/L) enantiomer is when asymmetric C
farthest from carbonyl has OH on right
D
(epimers/enantiomers)different configuration around a single asymmetric carbon
epimers
what is a asymmetic carbon ?
has different chemical groups
(amylose/amylopectin) unbranched a(1,4) bonds between glucose
amylose
(amylose/amylopectin) branched, a(1,4) & a(1,6) bonds between glucose
amyloptectin
Both starch and glucogen have (D/L) glucose polymrs
D
hihgly branched molecule (increases/decrease) solubility
increases
Cellulose uses (beta/alpha)glycosidic bonds
beta
why is cellulose not digestible for human enzymes?
because they have beta glyosidic bonds
(mehcanical/chemical)cleavage of glycosidic bonds by glycosidases
chemical
(mehcanical/chemical) chewing & mixing of foods
mechanical
