chapter 10 Flashcards
monosaccharides are….
aldehydes or ketones that contain two or more hydroxyl (-OH) groups
the smallest monosaccharides are composed of
3 carbons (triose)
constitutional isomer
specific types of isomers that share the same molecular formula but have different bonding atomic organization and bonding patterns
stereoisomer
isomers that differ in spatial arrangement of atoms, rather than order of atomic connectivity
list the 6 common monosaccharides
D-ribose, D-Deoxyribose, D-glucose, D-mannose, D-galactose, D-fructose
aldehyde + alcohol =
hemiacetal
ketone + alcohol =
hemiketal
glucose + alcohol =
6 carbon ring pyranose
fructose + alcohol =
five carbon ring furanose
formation of cyclic hemiacetal creates
anomer
a form means
hydroxyl at C-1 is on the opposite side as C-6
b form means
hydroxyl at C-1 is on the same side as C-6
sugars that react with oxidizing agents are called
reducing sugars
fehling’s solution
deep blue alkaline solution which is used to identify the presence of aldehydes or groups that contain any aldehyde functional group -CHO
glycoside
product of the bond formed between the anomeric carbon atom and an oxygen atom of an alcohol (called an O-glycosidic bond)
