Carbohydrates Flashcards
Derivatives of monosaccharide
Glucose-> Nag
Ribose->deoxy ribose
Oligosaccharide(2-9)
Disaccharides= maltose lactose sucrose
Reducing and non reducing
Have free aldehyde or ketone groups and turn red when reacting to BENEDICT AND FEHLING REAGENTS
r=all mono, malt, lactose
Nr=all poly, sucrose
Polysaccharides(10or more)
Homopolysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides
Homopolysaccharides
Storage Storage
Starch Cellulose
Inulin Chitin
Glycogen
Starch
Inulin
Glycogen
Starch= amylose(iodine test) & amylopectin
Inulin= fructosan, tubers and roots of dahlia
Glycogen=amylopectin of starch, animals livers and muscles
Structural polysaccharides
Cellulose( most abundant organic compound in biosphere)
Chitin=NAG
Heteropolysaccharides
Peptidoglycon
Halyuronic acid
Agar
