MODULE 4 - CC LEC Flashcards
What are hydrates of aldehyde or ketone derivates
Carbohydrates
Basis of the carbohydrates is the location__
carboxyl functional group
Carbohydrates __ to the cell membrane and determines __ of some molecules specifically blood groups
Structural integrity, antigenicity
are the determinants of blood type of one person
carbohydrates or sugars that coat the rbc
explain why carbohydrates or sugars that coats the rbc are determinants of blood type of a person
because the antigens for ABO blood group is at the surface of the rbc so in determining ABO blood group, we relate sugar found in the surface of the rbc
is a type of carbohydrate from plant products
commonly in the form of STARCH (ex rice)
exogenous carbohydrates
Is also called animal starch, often disintegrates upon death of animal
glycogen, thats why eating meat products are not good becasuse it has broken down carbs
Excess carbohydrate that is stored in the liver and your muscles in the form of glycogen
Endogenous carbohydrates
Explain what will happen when there is excess amount of CHO that we intake
When we intake excess amounts of carbohydrates than what the body needs, it will be converted into fat which will be stored in the adipose tissue and glycogen which will be stored in the liver and muscles
Explain what will happen when there is excess amount of CHO that we intake
When we intake excess amounts of carbohydrates than what the body needs, it will be converted into fat which will be stored in the adipose tissue and glycogen which will be stored in the liver and muscles
Muscle glycogen can be used by other tissues if there is lack of glucose from other tissues T/F
FALSE. Muscle glycogen are onky available in the muscles meaning that the muscle glycogen cannot be converted back to glucose and use it for other tissues
So we all know that fats are excess CHO stored in the adipose tissue. Can we convert back fats if we lack glucose in the body?
YES. If glucose level lowers, we can convert back fats in adipose tissue to glucose to use for energy.
What are the basis of CHO classification
- size of base carbon chain
- Location of CO function group
- Number of sugar units
- Stereochemistry of compound
3 base carbon chains
trioses
4 base carbon chain
tetroses
5 base carbon chains
pentoses
6 base carbon chains
hexoses
Simplest and smallest carbohydrate and has only 3 carbon coumpound (triose)
Glyceraldehyde
LOCATION OF CO FUNCTIONAL GROUP
has terminal aldehyde group
Aldose
LOCATION OF CO FUNCTIONAL GROUP
Ketone group in the middle
ketose
Building blocks of carbohydrates
monosacccharides
2 monosaccharides being linked together by a glycosidic linkage
disaccharides
links 2 saccharides
glycosidic linkage
Monosaccharides are composed of: (glg)
glucose, fructose, galactose
