Carbohydrates Flashcards
What is the basic structure of glucose?
what is organic chemistry
The study of carbon compounds
what are various examples of carbon skeletons
Variation in length
branched
double bonded
ringed
what are hydrocarbons
organic molecules containing only carbon and hydrogen
What are the various functional groups
Amine
Carboxyl
Carbonyl aldehyde hetone
Hydroxyl
what are monosachrides isomers
For Glucose
For Fructose
name some disachhrides
maltose= glucose +glucose
sucrose=fructose+ glucose
lactose=glucose +galactose
hydrocarbon properties
non polar
hydrophobic
not cohesive or adhesive
functional groups in detail
substitude molecules around carbon
may make them polar or liquid
involved in chemical reactions
distinc properties
increase solubility
basic male and female steroid pic:
identical carbon skeleton
various functional groups
thus different effects
interact differently
draw pic
explain pic
cleaves of monomer at a time
what are the functions of carbs
what is that bond called
energy
and storage of energy
raw materials
structure
glycosidic linkage
name polysachhrides
cost little energy
enzymes
energy storage starch glycogen
