CARBOHYDRATES Flashcards
are hydrates of aldehyde or ketone derivatives based on the location of the CO functional group
CARBOHYDRATES
is the simplest carbohydrate with the formula CHO
glycol aldehyde
is the ONLY carbohydrate that can be directly used for energy
GLUCOSE
storage form of GLUCOSE
GLYCOGEN
The 3 MAIN yields of glucose oxidation are:
Carbon Dioxide
Water
Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP)
cannot be broken down by hydrolysis into simpler (smaller) carbohydrate molecules.
Monosaccharides
examples of MONOSACCHARIDES
GLUCOSE, FRUCTOSE
PENTOSES
“double sugar”, any substance that is composed of two molecules of simple sugars (monosaccharides) linked to each other
crystalline water-soluble compounds.
Disaccharides
examples of DISACCHARIDES
SUCROSE (G+F)
MALTOSE (G+G)
LACTOSE (G+Gal)
type of carbohydrate formed when three to 10 simple sugars are linked together by glycosidic bonds
Oligosaccharides
examples of OLIGOSACCHARIDES
RAFFINOSE
STACHYOSE
storage form of glucose in plants
STARCH
storage form of glucose in animals
GLYCOGEN
long chains of monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds.
Polysaccharides
the presence of double bonds and a (-) charge in the -enol anion
REDUCING SUGARS
examples of reducing sugars
glucose maltose fructose lactose galactose
does not contain an active ketone or aldehyde group
NON-REDUCING SUGARS
example of non-reducing sugars
SUCROSE
Phenomenon in which a molecule forms isomers that have the same composition but that differ in the orientation of those parts in space.
Stereoisomerism
two kinds of stereoisomers
enantiomers and diastereomers.
pair of molecules that exist in two forms that are mirror images of one another but cannot be superimposed one upon the other.
ENANTIOMERS
are not related as object and mirror image and are notenantiomers. Unlike enatiomers whichare mirror imagesof each other andnon-sumperimposable, diastereomers arenot mirror imagesof each other andnon-superimposable
DIASTERIOMERS
the structure of Glucose can be represented in 3 ways
- Straight-chain Form
- Cyclic Structure (Fisher-Haworth Projection)
- Chair Form (3D Form)
the Cyclic Projection of the structure of Glucose
