Carbohydrates

Question 1

Describe the general characteristics of monosaccharides

Answer 1

Shape is ring

3 to 7 carbon and one oxygen

Question 2

What do we mainly use carbohydrates for

Answer 2

Fast energy

Question 3

What feature accounts for their high solubility in water

Answer 3

That are polar molecules

Question 4

What element forms the bridge between the the monomers that make up maltose and sucrose? What is the bond called? What molecule was made during the condensation reaction that formed these disaccharides

Answer 4

Oxygen is formed between the two , the bond is called glycosidic linkage and also h2o was made in the condensation reaction

Question 5

How does cellulose account for its function as a rigid cell wall and as dietary fibre and “roughage”

Answer 5

The molecule in cellulose are formed in a cross cross pattern that gives strength and shape to the wall. Humans can’t digest cellulose it passes through our systems unchanged and acts like a roughage that helps movement of our intestines

Question 6

Disaccharides and how do they form

Answer 6

“double sugar” they form through condensation reaction

Question 7

what linkage happens between Disaccharides

Answer 7

glycosidic linkage

Question 8

3 main types of polysaccharides

Answer 8

Cellulose, starch and glycogen

Question 9

(NOT ONLY CARBOHYDRATES)

what are the 4 biomolecules we looked over

Answer 9

carbohydrate
protein
lipids
nucleic acids

Question 10

if you are running a marathon tomorrow what you wanna eat

Answer 10

carbs for fast energy unless its a super long marathon than u need fatty foods for long term energy

Question 11

carbohydrates mainly come from what?

Answer 11

plants

Question 12

what are the 3 main types of carbohydrates

Answer 12

monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides
or
Sugars. They are also called simple carbohydrates because they are in the most basic form. …
Starches. They are complex carbohydrates, which are made of lots of simple sugars strung together. …
Fiber. It is also a complex carbohydrate.

Question 13

what is a monosaccharide and examples

Answer 13

a simple sugar, building blocks of carbohydrates ex glucose, fructose

Question 14

Disaccharides

Answer 14

“double sugar” complex sugar and are made of two simple sugars(monosaccharides) made up together

ex maltose, and sucrose

commonly having 12 atoms

Question 15

describe the process of disaccharide’s

Answer 15

2 simple sugars come together through the process of condensation and have a glyosidic linkage resulting into a oxygen between them with the removal of one molecule of H20

Question 16

polysaccharides and examples

Answer 16

long chain of monosaccharides

ex starch and cellulose
