QuestionAnswer
What elements does carboyhydates consist ofC,H,O
Examples of Monosaccharidesglucose,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 reactionsucrose + water= glucose + fructose
eg of a monasaccharide and usesglucose C6H12O6 small and soluble used in respiration for energy
condensationforms a glycosidic bond + water
hydrolysisremoves water by temp/ optimum temp
what is a polysaccharidea large polymer of monosaccharide -starch, glucose glycogen -non reducing
Cellulosefunction - 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
Starchfound in plants -insoluble -helixical for compact store -large no of alpha glucose molecules
Glycogenbranched alpha glucose for large surface area-respiration liver and muscle tissues
