Answer 1

C H O with a 1:2:1 ratio (e.g. C6 H12 O6)

Question 2

Sugars end in…

Answer 2

“ose” (e.g. glucose)

Question 3

What are the three types of Chemistry Carbohydrates?

Answer 3

1. monosaccharides
2. disaccharides
3. polysaccharides

Question 4

How are disaccharides formed?

Answer 4

disaccharides are formed by a dehydrations synthesis (dehydrolysis)

Question 5

How does dehydrolysis form a new bond?

Answer 5

dehydration removes a water molecule, forming a new bond

Question 6

What are the two types of polysaccharides?

Answer 6

Storage

Structural

Question 7

What is the “storage” polysaccharide? What is the name of the branched and unbranched version?

Answer 7

plant/animal storage
branched = amylopectin
unbranched = amylose

Question 8

What is “structural” polysaccharide?

Answer 8

a component of plants cell walls, cellulose (used for structure)
