#1
Front (Question)

what is a monomer of carbohydrate called

Back (Answer)

monosaccharide

#2
Front (Question)

how many bonds can carbon form

Back (Answer)

4 covalent bonds

#3
Front (Question)

how does a covalent bond form

Back (Answer)

when electrons are shared between 2 atoms

#4
Front (Question)

amine functional group

Back (Answer)

NH2

#5
Front (Question)

hydroxyl group

Back (Answer)

OH

#6
Front (Question)

how can unsaturated compounds form with carbon

Back (Answer)

double and triple bonds adjacent with carbon atom

#7
Front (Question)

what are polymers

Back (Answer)

molecules made from a large number of monomers joined together in a chain by polymerisation

#8
Front (Question)

macromolecule of amino acids

Back (Answer)

proteins (polypeptides)

#9
Front (Question)

what monomers are lipids made from

Back (Answer)

fatty acids, glycerol, phosphate groups

#10
Front (Question)

what are nucleic acids made up of

Back (Answer)

nucleotides

#11
Front (Question)

when does a condensation reaction occur

Back (Answer)

when molecules combine together forming covalent bonds resulting in polymers (polymerisation) - water is removed

#12
Front (Question)

glucose + glucose

Back (Answer)

maltose + water

#13
Front (Question)

what is a glycosidic bond

Back (Answer)

a strong covalent bond formed when 2 OH groups on different monosaccharides interact

#14
Front (Question)

amino acid + amino acid

Back (Answer)

dipeptide + water (condensation reaction)

#15
Front (Question)

when does a peptide bond form

Back (Answer)

when 2 amino acid monomers interact creating a polypeptide

#16
Front (Question)

what are hydrolysis reactions

Back (Answer)

reverse condensation reactions- water splits in oh and H, used to digest food

#17
Front (Question)

glyceride + water

Back (Answer)

fatty acids + glyceride

#18
Front (Question)

properties of monosaccharides

Back (Answer)

soluble in water colourless crystalline molecules

#19
Front (Question)

general formula of monosaccharides

Back (Answer)

CnH2nOn

#20
Front (Question)

what process is glucose produced in and how is it used

Back (Answer)

produced during photosynthesis main substrate used in respiration, releasing energy for the production of ATP

#21
Front (Question)

what are the isomers of glucose

Back (Answer)

alpha and beta glucose- structural variety causes different functions

#22
Front (Question)

what polysaccharides are formed by alpha glucose

Back (Answer)

starch and glycogen

#23
Front (Question)

what polysaccharide is made from beta glucose

Back (Answer)

cellulose

#24
Front (Question)

properties of glucose

Back (Answer)

stable structure- has covalent bonds which are strong and hard to break soluble in water- because of its polar nature easily transportable- due to its water solubility a source of chemical energy - when covalent bonds are broken
