Carbohydrates. Flashcards
Monosaccharides formula and types.
-CnH2nOn
-Glucose,fructose,pentose,triose,galactose.
Hexose sugars formula and names w/ uses.
-C6H12O6
-Glucose=starts respiration, transport of sugars in animals.
-Galactose=part of lactose.
-Fructose-in fruit.
Pentose sugars formula and names w/ uses.
-C5H10O5
-Ribose=in RNA and ATP.
-Deoxyribose=in DNA.
Triose sugar formula and names w/ uses.
-C3H10O5
-Glyceraldehyde=found in respiration.
Alpha glucose structure.
OH group=down,down,up,down starting from right carbon(1).
Beta glucose structure.
Up down up down from right carbon(1).
Galactose structure.
-Down, down, up, up.
Fructose structure.
Look at pics and practice drawing.
Glycogen all facts.
-Made of alpha glucose
-Highly branched
-Straight 1,4 glycosidic bond chains
-Branched 1,6 glycosidic bond chains
-Energy storage in the muscles and liver of animals.
Cellulose all facts.
-Beta glucose monomers
-Micro fibril(parallel fibres) structure w/ H bonds and small molecules can pass through permeable gaps
-1,1 or 1,4 glycosidic bonds
-Monomer flipped 180 degrees each time
-Straight chained
-Structure in cell walls of plants.
Chitin all facts.
-Beta glucose and nitrogen
-Same structure as cellulose
-In animals exoskeleton(insects) and cell wall in fungi=structural uses.
Starch—>amylose all facts.
-Alpha glucose
-Spiral w/ H bonds holding in place between glucose molecules
-1,4 glycosidic bonds
-straight chained
-in chloroplasts
-Stores energy because dense and large so cant diffuse out of cell
-Insoluble=doesnt affect water potential.
Starch–>amylopectin all facts.
-alpha glucose
-Branched chain
-straight 1,4 bonds
-branched 1,6 bonds
-Energy storage in chloroplasts because quick release because of exposed glucose at end of chains
-Insoluble=doesnt affect water potential.
Alpha glucose condensation reaction.
-2 alpha glucose
-makes maltose and H2O
-Glucosidic bond between carbon 1 and 4
-opposite for break down=hydrolysis.
Sucrose monomers.
alpha glucose, fructose.(makes water too)
