carbohydrates

biomolecules

what element are found in carbohydrates

carbon, hydrogen, oxygen

which carbs have the chemical formula C₆H₁₂O₆

glucose, fructose, galatose

what makes glucose, fructose, galactose different?

different structures of atoms (isomers)

how is ring structure formed?

a carbonyl group (ketone or aldehyde) reacts with a hydroxyl in the same molecule

two monosaccharides form a disaccharide through __

dehydration syntheisis

glucose + fructose create

sucrose + H₂O

what is this

glycosidic linkage

glucose + glucose =

maltose + h₂o

how many monosaccharides can polysaccharides have

hundreds to thousands

what is cellulose

plant cell wall structure component made from 4 glycosidic linkages

what is glycogen

animal glucose storage made from 6 glycosidic linkages

what is starch

plant glucose storage that comes in two forms: amylose and amylopectin

what is the difference between amylose and amylopectin

amylose is unbranched with 4 glycosidic linkages whereas amylopectin is branched with 6 glycosidic linkages
