Carbohydrates and Lipids Flashcards
Examples of monosaccharide hexoses
Glucose, fructose, and galactose
Monosaccharide hexose, responsible for cellular respiration and ATP production within cells
Glucose
Monosaccharide hexose and simple sugar in fruits
Fructose
Monosaccharide hexose and simple sugar in milks
Galactose
Examples of monosaccharide pentoses
Ribose and deoxyribose
Monosaccharide pentose sugar that makes up RNA
Ribose
Monosaccharide pentose sugar that makes up DNA
Deoxyribose
Bond formed in a nucleotide between a sugar and a phosphate
Ester bonds
A molecule used by the cell for energy and is bonded to sugars through ester bonds
Phosphates
Bonds formed between monosaccharide molecules to create larger and more complex molecules
Glyosidic bonds
A molecule composed of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen, and is the building block of all carbohydrates
Monomers
Two monosaccharides bonded together through dehydration/condensation (anabolic reactions) in a glyosidic bond
Disaccharides
Examples of disaccharides
Maltose, lactose, and sucrose
Disaccharide sugar found in malt and broken down by the enzyme maltase
Maltose
Disaccharide sugar found in milk and broken down by the enzyme lactase
Lactose
