Carbohydrates Flashcards
Monosaccharides
Simplest carb
have hydroxel groups on all carbons except carbonyl carbon
Aldoses
Monosaccharides that containan aldehyde
Ketoses
Monosaccharides that contain a ketone
Classifying monosaccharides
Number of carbons
3= triose
4= tetrose
5= pentose
Difference between a D sugar and L sugar?
L: OH is on Left
D: OH is on right
How to tell if it’s alpha or beta?
Alpha: OH is is on bottom
Beta: OH is on top
Glucose vs Galactos haworth
The OH group is different
Look at carbon 4 to tell difference
In glucose OH group is on bottom
In galactos OH group is on top
Both aldohexos
Monosaccharides
Fructose
A ketohexose
Looks like a pyramid
Monosaccharide
Reduction in monosaccharides
Converts an aldehyde group to alcohol producing sugar alcohols
What are the dissacharrides
Maltose
Lactose
Sucrose
Maltose
2 D glucoses
found in both alpha and beta
How can you tell if its alpha or beta on dissacharide
O is more to bottom when alpha and is on top when beta
What are the polyssacharrides
Starch
Glycogen
Cellulose
Amylose
Amylopectin
Amylose
Made of D glucose molecules connected by alpha 1-4
Amylopectin
Makes 80% of starch
Contains glucose alpha 1-4 and alpha 1-6
