Carbohydrates And Energy Metabolism Flashcards
Aldoses
Carbonyl (C=O) on end of sugar’s carbon skeleton
Ketoses
Carbonyl (C=O) inside sugar’s carbon skeleton
Bond between two sugars
Glycosidic linkage
ATP long name
Adenosine triphosphate
ATP gets released, the recipient molecule with the phosphate group covalently bonded is called…
Phosphorylated intermediate
Trioses, Pentoses, Hexoses
Sugars with 3, 5, and 6 carbon respectively
Glucose

Starch
-Chain of glucose (unbranched or barely)
-Alpha linkage
-Storage polysaccharide of plants
-Extra starch stored as granules within chloroplast
Glycogen
-Chain of branched glucose
-Storage polysaccharide in animals (mainly liver)
