Types of Carbohydrates (5/15)

sugar monomer and are the building blocks of complex carbohydrates

glyceraldehyde

ribose

glucose fructose galactose

It is an aldose and contains an aldehyde functional group

Aldose that can be converted to glucose less stable than glucose C 3 and C4 have opposite point OH group

glucose and fructose

formed by a dehydration reaction and broken by a hydrolysis reaction

galactose and glucose

two glucose molecules not as sweet as sucrose

long chains of carbohydrate monomers linked together

polymers of glucose that plants use to store energy

synthesis when energy is high and breaks it down when energy is low in liver tends to store and use it to power muscles during exercise in skeletal muscle

glucose molecules linked together by beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds humans cannot digest cellulose but is an important part of fiber

Structural support to the shells or exoskeletons of insects, crabs and mollusks

makes up bacterial cell wall

amylose and amylopectin
