Application reducing sugar in medic

A

Diagnosis of glucose presence in urine

28
Q

What is disaccharide

A

Two monosaccharide joined covalently by glycosidic bond

29
Q

What is the bond in carbs

A

Glycosydic bond

30
Q

Which disaccharide non reducing sugar

A

Sucrose

31
Q

Why sucrose non reducimg sugar

A

Lose functional group

No aldehyde or ketone

32
Q

What is maltose

A

Malt sugar that (created when seeds germinate) from hydrolysis of starch

Highlt soluble in water

Glucose+glucose

Reducing sugar

Foun in bread, candies, energy bars

33
Q

What is lactose

A

Milk sugar that foun primarily in dairy foods

Glucose+galactose

Reducing sugar

Found in milk cheese chocolates

34
Q

What is sucrose

A

Table sugar

Obtain from sugar cane or sugar beets

Mainly found in plants

Most granulated sugar use in baking

Glucose+fructose

Not reducing sugar

35
Q

Function plysaccaharide

A

Energy storage (glycogen in animal and starch in plant)

Structural support of cell ( cell wall ) cellulose and chitin

36
Q

Function of starch and how it is stored in plants

A

Store polysaccharide in plant

Stored as granules within plastid

37
Q

Is starch soluble in water

A

No

38
Q

Why iodine turn from yellow to blue black when starch present

A

Iodine molecules trapped within coils of amylose chain

39
Q

Condensation of alpha glucose in sarch is joined by

A

Alpha -1,4- glycosidic bond

40
Q

Starch consist of

A

Amylose chain that is simple linear unbranched jelix

Amylopectin that is linear branched helix, branched at alpha-1,6- glycosidic bond

41
Q

Starch can be hydrolysed by

A

Amylase to break the alpha-1,4-glycosidic bond

42
Q

What is function of glycogen and where does it present

A

Storage polysaccharide in animal

Present in muscle and iver (high metabolic activity)

43
Q

What does glycogen consist of

A

Large alpha glucose polymer tht is more branched than amylopectin

44
Q

Why component in glycogen is much more branched than amylopectin

A

It has many ends for fast breakdown where during respiration, more ends that the enzyme can start the process of hydrolysis

45
Q

Is glycogen water soluble

A

No

46
Q

Cellulose is major component of

A

Cell wall

47
Q

Cellulose consist of

A

Long unbranched beta glucose linked by beta-1,4-glycosidic bond

48
Q

How is comp in cellulose is arranged

A

Linear chain arranged parallely, stick together due to H bond formed between hydroxyl group of adjacent cells

49
Q

Chain group together form ………. , large bundle of microfibrils form……

A

Microfibrils

Macrofibrils

50
Q

Macrofibrils has

A

High tensile strength tat give rigidity to plant

51
Q

What macrofibrils do

This allow what

A

They criss cross forming strong structure held by H bonds

Allows water to move through cell wall

52
Q

Strength of cell wall prevent

A

Cell from bursting when water pass into cell

53
Q

Pressure caused by water makes cell……, suporting plant through…..

A

Turgid

Turgor pressure

54
Q

Most organism cannot hydrolyse cellulose bcs

A
