what is a monosaccharide and its properties?
1 sugar carbohydrate properties -sweet -soluble -crystaline
what is a disaccharide and its properties?
2 sugar carbohydrate properties -sweet -soluble -crystaline
what is a polysaccharide and its properties?
many sugars carbohydrates propeties -not sweet -insoluble -non-crystaline
General formula of carbohydrates
Cn(H2O)n
3 forms of monosaccharides
triose(3 carbon sugars) pentose(5 carbon sugars) hexose(6 carbon sugars)
function of a monosaccharide
-used for energy -make amino acids and fatty acids
general formula for monsaccharides
Cn(H2O)n
what is the molecular formula
this doesn’t show how the atoms are bonded
what is the structural formula
this does show how the atoms are bonded
what type of reaction forms a glycosidic bond
condensation reaction (releases water)
what type of reaction breaks a glycosidic bond
hydrolysis reaction (adds water)
what is maltose made of
2 glucose molecules
what is sucrose made of
glucose and fructose
what is lactose made of
glucose and galactose
Molecular formula of disaccharides
C12 H22 O11
what is glycogen
a storage form of glucose
where is glycogen stored
liver
1 function of glycogen
releases glucose for energy in times of low blood sugar -glycogen is insoluble which allows it to remain inside cells
properties of glycogen
insoluble,highly branched chains of a-glucose(alpha)
what is glucose metabolism
the process where the body breaks down glucose for energy
