6 carbons
types of disaccharides:
- sucrose
- lactose
- maltose
sucrose is made of:
fructose + glucose
lactose is made of:
galactose + glucose
maltose is made of:
glucose + glucose
disaccharides are made of:
2 monosaccharides
disaccharides are linked by:
glycosidic bonds made from a dehydration(condensation) reaction
dehydration(condensation) reaction is:
loss of water and addition of covalent bond
polysaccharides contain:
multiple monosaccharides
polysaccharides are connected by:
glycosidic bonds to form long polymers
types of polysaccharides:
- starch
- cellulose
- chitin
- glycogen
starch is:
energy storage in plants
what kind of bond does starch have?
alpha bond
linear starch is called:
amylose
branched starch is called:
amylopectin
glycogen is:
energy storage in humans
what type of bond does glycogen have?
alpha
true or false: glycogen is more branched than starch.
