•condensation of monosaccharides
•forming glycosidic bond
•releasing water

Question 4

Question 7

I’m looking for 3 things that are reducing sugars.

Answer 7

•all monosaccharides
•maltose
•lactose

Question 8

The OH on beta-glucose issss….

Answer 8

High.
Bc,, only beta’s get high? Alpha men don’t need to period.

Question 9

What is glycogen made from + where is it found?

Answer 9

•alpha glucose
•animals (liver and muscle cells)

Question 10

What makes glycogen a good storage polysaccharide?

Answer 10

•compact, large quantities can be stored
•Insoluble, no osmotic affect
•highly branched, glucose can be added/removed easily

Question 11

Why is glycogen compact?

Answer 11

• 1,6-glycosidic bonds
• causes branching
• so more compact

Question 12

Why is glycogen insoluble?

Answer 12

Too large so polar regions/hydrogen bonds don’t interact with water, preventing dissolving.

Question 13

What is starch made from + where is it?

Answer 13

• your mums belly fat
•alpha glucose
•plants 🌱

Question 14

What 2 molecules make up starch?

Answer 14

•Amylose

Question 15

Structure + function of amylose?!

Answer 15

•COILED
> nothing else is coiled. ever. Alright? Idk why you seem to think every thing you ever effing encounter with glucose is coiled but you need to cut ts out. It’s not on.
•UNBRANCHED (1,4 only)
•COMPACT

•STORAGEEEE

Question 16

Structure + function of amylopectin (the majority of starch)

Answer 16

•branched
•compact
•storage! \^0^/
