| What elements does carboyhydates consist of | C,H,O |
| Examples of Monosaccharides | glucose,fructose,sucrose,fgalactose |
| Alpha glucose= | down up down down H is first down |
| Beta glucose | = down up down up / H is first up |
| monosacharide + monosaccharise= | disaccharide + water (condensation reaction) |
| eg of hydolysis reaction | sucrose + water= glucose + fructose |
| eg of a monasaccharide and uses | glucose C6H12O6
small and soluble
used in respiration for energy |
| condensation | forms a glycosidic bond + water |
| hydrolysis | removes water by temp/ optimum temp |
| what is a polysaccharide | a large polymer of monosaccharide -starch, glucose glycogen
-non reducing |
| Cellulose | function - strengh and rigidty to the cell wall
structure- long straight chain
-many hydrogen bonds to form adjacent chains called microfibils to bundle together to form macrofibils= rigid |
| Starch | found in plants -insoluble
-helixical for compact store
-large no of alpha
glucose molecules |
| Glycogen | branched alpha glucose for large surface area-respiration
liver and muscle tissues |
