Monosaccharides And Disaccharides Flashcards
What are the 3 groups of carbohydrates
Monosaccharides,disaccharides,polysaccharides
What is a monosaccharide
One single sugar unit
What is a disaccharide
Two monosaccharides joined together
What features of monosaccharides help with its job
The fact they are soluble to be easily transportable
They are small enough that they be easily transported across cell membranes into cells by carrier proteins
What’s the equation for glyceraldehyde
C3H6O3
Whats the equation for ribose
C5H10O5
What’s the general name for a sugar with 6 carbons
Hexose
What’s the general name for a sugar with 3 carbons
Triode
What’s the general name for a sugar with 5 carbons
Pentose,an example being ribose
What do glucose galactose and fructose all have in common
They are six carbon sugars otherwise known as hexose
What are isomers
molecules with the same molecular formula but different structural formulae
How is glucoses structure related to its function in plants
It’s soluble so therefore easily transportable
What kind of bond is made in a condensation reaction
Glycosidic bond
What happens when two ALPHA glucose undergo a condensation reaction
It creates a glycosidic bond joining the two and forming the disaccharide maltose
What two monosaccharides make up maltose
2x alpha glucose
