Chapter 6-Carbohydrates Flashcards
Carbohydrate is a?
polyhydroxy aldehyde or polyhydroxy keytone
functional group attached to each carbon in form of what?
Glucose and fructose
Molecules that contain 3, 4, 5, 6, or more carbon atoms held together by peptide bonds
Monosaccharides
2 monosaccharides linked together with the loss of a molecule of water, held together by glycosidic linkages.
Disaccharides
Consists of many monosaccharides linked together.
Polysaccharides
Composition of maltose.
Glucose + Glucose
Composition of lactose.
Glucose + Galactose
Composition of sucrose.
Glucose + Fructose
Composition of glycogen.
Multiple branching glucose chains held together by 1,4- (main chain) and 1,6 (branch)-glycosidic bonds
Types of carbohydrates
Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Oligosaccharides(2-9 units), Polysaccarides (10+ links)
Three common disaccharides formed through the condensation of two monosaccharies
Maltose, lactose, sucrose
Polysaccharides
Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose
Amylose (20%) + Amylopectin (80%)
Starch
