Chapter 10 Lecture Flashcards

1
Q

carbohydrates

A
  • these are often found within our starches & sugars
  • these are also seen within plants during photosynthesis
  • they help PROVIDE ENERGY + USED TO STORE ENERGY
  • our STORED CARBS = (once broken down) = help CREATE ENERGY!

D-glucose

A
  • known as dextrose/blood sugar
  • composed of starch & glycogen
19
Q

D-galactose

A
  • combines with glucose; makes lactose
20
Q

D-fructose

A
  • also known as “fruit sugar’
  • the most ABUNDANT ketose
  • is a source of energy
21
Q

Deoxy sugars

A
  • -OH group of a monosaccharide is replaced by H
22
Q

Amino sugars

A

-OH group of a monosaccharide replaced by an amino -NH2 group

23
Q

Alcohol sugars

A

carbonyl group of a monosaccharide REDUCED to an alcohol group

24
Q

carboxylic acid sugars

A

aldehyde or -OH group OXIDIZED to form a carboxyl group

25
Q

reduction

A

C=O of an aldehyde or ketone (w/ the presence of H2 or Pt) becomes an ALCOHOL

26
Q

oxidation

A

Enzymes catalyze the oxidation of aldehydes and alcohol groups of monosaccharides to form carboxylic acid sugars

27
Q

benedict’s reagent

A
  • oxidizes aldehydes
  • (+) test: reducing sugars
  • sugar: being oxidized, while copper is reduced
28

cyclic form of monosaccharides
*alcohol group reacts with aldehyde or ketone

29
Q

name of two cyclic forms

A

alpha anomer
beta anomer

30
Q

alpha anomer

A

C #1 -OH - pointing DOWN
