Enantiomers etc... Flashcards
What is the main feature of enantiomers?
They have the same physical and chemical properties but different physiological properties and so they act with our body in a different way
What are the two main reactions that happen in macromolecules?
What condensation does do?
What hydrolysis does?
1: condensations
2: hydrolisis
What does condensation need?
It needs energy, endergonic(endometriosi)
Hydrolisis? Energy?
It realises energy exergonic
What are disaccharides?
Two monosaccharides linked together trough a condensation reaction(polisaccarides formed by two)
Where does maltose come from?
Comes from the hydrolisis starch(a glucose, a glucose),
What is the bond between two monosaccharides called?
Glycosidic Bond
For what it is used Hawarth Projection?
Used for the ring structure
What happens for a form and b form in water?
They are in equilibrium(60%-40%)
What are the two main types of classification of carbohydrates?
1: ENDoses(at the end chain KEToses(in the middle of the chain)
2: according to the number of C Chains
Explain what happens to the linear structure in water?
The structure is not stable, it tends to close on itself closing a ring
2 main features of polysaccharides:
CglSS
1: storage(they store energy, in plants: starch, in animals: glycogen
2: structural(they build in plants, cellulose in animals: chitin)
What is starch. Definition
Starch is a polymer of a glucose. Mixture of two different monosaccharides, analyse and amilopeptine,
Can Animals Break down Starch?
Yes they can, trough a particular enzyme: anylases
What is glycogen?
Similar to amylopectine but it is more densely branched. It was our body break down to gather energy
