carbohydrates

Question 1

what are carbohydrates made from

Answer 1

most are polymers
all made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen

Question 2

alpha glucose

Answer 2

monosaccharide
6 carbon atoms
addud

Question 3

beta glucose

Answer 3

monosaccharide
6 carbon atoms
budud

Question 4

ribose

Answer 4

monosaccharide
5 carbon atoms

Question 5

polysaccharide formation

Answer 5

monosaccharides joined by glycosydic bonds
formed by condensation reaction
broken down by hydrolysis

Question 6

starch

Answer 6

main energy source in plants
insoluble in water
good storage
mixture of amylose and amylopectin

Question 7

amylose

Answer 7

long, unbranched chain of alpha glucose
1-4 glycosidic bonds give coiled shape
compact - good for storage

Question 8

amylopectin

Answer 8

long, branched chain of alpha glucose
1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic bonds
1-6 glycosidic bonds allow branches which means it can be broken down quickly for a quick release of glucose

Question 9

glycogen

Answer 9

main energy store in animals
animal cells store excess glucose as glycogen
1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic bonds
heavily branched
branches mean a quick release of glucose
compact - good for storage

Question 10

cellulose

Answer 10

the major component of cell walls in plants
long, unbranched chains of beta glucose linked by hydrogen bonds
