Module 4 - Carbohydrates Flashcards
Primary source of energy
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates is for:
Structural support
Cell recognition
Energy storage
What is carbohydrates made of
Carbon, hydrogen, oxygen (1:2:1 ratio)
General formula for carbohydrates
CH2O
Carbohydrates requires
Chirality
Chirality says that
A carbon atom must be attached to four different substituents
The linkage between monosaccharide units to form disaccharide or polysaccharides
Glycosidic bonds
One unit of carbs
Monosaccharides
2 units of carbs
Disaccharides
Where is glycodic bond formed in a carbohydrate
Carbon of one monosaccharide attached to hydroxyl group of another monosaccharide
Two classification of monosaccharides based on location
Aldose
Ketose
Carbonyl group is at the end of carbon chain
Aldose
Carbonyl group is inside a carbon chain
Ketose
What carbon is aldose attached to
Carbon 1
What carbon is ketose attached to
Carbon 2
Simplest form of carbohydrates
Monosaccharides
Can monosaccharides be broken into small sugars?
Noit is a single sugar unit na
Monomers of large carbohydrates
Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides containing 3 carbon atoms
Triose
Monosaccharides containing 5 carbon atoms
Pentoses
Monosaccharides containing 6 carbon atoms
Hexose
Difference of ribos to deoxyribos in terms of structure
Ribose - may oxygen katabi sa carbon 2
Deoxyribose - no oxygen on carbon 2
Double sugars
Disaccharides
