A

not a reducing sugar

18
Q

polysaccharides

A

glucose -starch

           - glycogen
           - cellulose
19
Q

2 polymers of starch

A
  1. amylose

2. amylopectin

20
Q

amylose

A

straight shape

alpha 1-4 linkage

21
Q

amylopectin

A

branched

1-6 linkage

22
Q

helix

A

test for starch

iodine test

23
Q

hydrolysis of starch

A

starch–> amylose/amylopectin –(amylase)–> dextrins–> maltose —(maltase)–> 2 glucoses

24
Q

dextrins

A

glue
“spray” ironing
stamp/envelope glue

25
polysaccharides
1. starch alpha 1-4 linkage 2. glycogen 3. cellulose
26
glycogen
stores glucose in liver and muscles regulated blood sugar
27
glycogen is
very branched
28
glycogen has
alpha 1-4 linkage
29
cellulose
plant cell walls cotton, paper, wood, grass, glucose!
30
cellulose has
beta 1-4 linkage
31
saccharin
pink | sweet-and-low
32
aspartame
nutrasweet blue equal
33
sucralose | splenda
yellow | replaces hydroxy with chlorides
34

yes
36
monosaccharides can
move through cell membrane
37
monosaccharides go
from open to closed in equilibrium
38
anomers
closed form
