Q

What are Carbohydrates?

A
  • Named because Cn(H2O)n
  • Produced from CO2 and H20 via photosynthesis in plants.
  • Polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones that yield such as compounds on hydrolysis.

Q
  • What are Glycoconjugates ?
A

Complex carbohydrates polymer covalently attached to proteins or lipids act as signals that determine the intracellular destination or metabolic fate of these hybrid molecules.

Q
  • What are the most famous Hexoses and why are they so important ?
A
  • D-glucose (aldohexose) and D-fructose (ketohexose) are the most common monosaccharides in nature. The product of photosynthesis and key intermediates in the central energy yielding reaction sequence in most organisms.

Q

What type of stereoisomers are most of the hexoses ?

A

D-stereoisomers

17
Q

What are the enantiomers in sugar ?

A
  • D and L isomers of a sugar are enantiomers and have similar physical properties.
  • e.g. L and D glucose have the same water solubility.
18
Q

What are Diastereoisomers ?

A
  • are stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each other.
19
Q

Epimers

A

Two sugars that differ only in the configuration around one carbon atom.

20
Q

Name (2) examples of epimers

A
  • D-Glucose and D-Mannose
  • D-Glucose and D-Galactose
