CARBOHYDRATE Flashcards
1
Q
CLASSIFICATION OF CARBS?
A
1) MONOSACCRIDE
2) DISACCRIDE
3) POLYSACCHRIDE
2
Q
MONOSACCHRIDE?
A
▪️Monosacchride:
🔻3 sugar molecule formula (C6 H12 O6).
(a) GLUCOSE: 🔺source of energy for cellular respira (b) GALACTOSE: 🔺in milk and yogurth (c) FRUCTOSE: 🔺Found in honey.
3
Q
DISACCHRIDES?
A
▫️2⃣ Monosaccride = Disacchrides ▫️Three common disacchride : (A) SUCROSE: (Glucose➕Fructose) 🔺common table sugar (B) LACTOSE: (Glucose➕Glactose) 🔺Major sugar in milk (C) MALTOSE: (Glucose➕Glucose) 🔺Product of starch digestion.
4
Q
POLYSACCHRIDES?
A
(A) STARCH 🔻insoluble in wAter 🔻as storage depots of glucose 🚩plant converts Excess glucose into starch for storage. (B) GLYCOGEN: 🔻🐴 store glucose by polymerising it to form glycogen 🔻broken down when needed (C) CELLULOSE: 🔻Most abundant organic molecule 🔻plants are made from it. 🚩Wood, Cotton and 📰 (D) CHITIN: 🔻long chained polymers. 🔻Found in cell wall of fungi and etc
