17
Q

insulin

A

conversation of glucose into glycogen

18
Q

glucagon

A

raise the concentration of glucose and fat in the bloodstream, the main catabolic hormone of the body.

19
Q

hemiacetals

A

addition of an alcohol to the carbonyl group of an aldehyde or ketone

20
Q

acetal

A

when an hemiacetal reacts with another molecule of alcohol.

21
Q

a isomer

A

a-D-glucose, the OH group is drawn down

22
Q

b isomer

A

b-D-glucose, the OH group is drawn up

23
Q

reduction of the aldehyde carbonyl group

A

the carbonyl group is reduced to an alcohol using H2 with Pd.
Product is called alditol.
H-C=O turns into CH2OH

24
Q

oxidation of the aldehyde carbonyl group

A

oxidized to a gluconic acid using Benedict’s reagent. (Blue to Red)
H-C=O turns into OH-C=O (COOH)

25
Q

reducing sugars

A

carbohydrates that are oxidized with benedicts reagent

26
Q

the reduction reaction occurs when…

A

the cyclic structure has been opened, and the aldehyde group is available for oxidation

27
Q

fructose and ketone are reducing sugars, despite no aldehyde group because…

A

the reduction occurs because the reagents are basic solutions

28
Q

Maltose

A

glucose + glucose

reducing

29
Q

Lactose

A

galactose + glucose

Reducing

30
Q

Sucrose

A

Fructose +glucose

non-reducing

31
Q

starch

A

repeating glucose units helps by alpha glycosidic linkages

water soluble and capable of hydrogen bonding.

32
Q

amylose

A

unbranched,20%, helical arrangement

33
