Carbohydrates

what is the ratio of C,H,O in a carb

1:2:1 ratio

what is the monomer of carbs

Monosaccharides

What is the dimer of a carb

Disaccharides

what is the polymer of a carb

Polysaccharide

what are examples of a monosaccharide

glucose, fructose, galactos

what is the general formula for monosaccharides

CH(2)O

what functional groups are in carbs

hydroxyl, carbonyl (ketone, aldehyde)

are monosaccharides polar or non-polar?

Very polar, Hydrophilic

What is an isomer

molicules that have the same chemical formula but different structure

what is a disaccharide

two monosaccharides joined together by dehydration synthesis

what is dehydration synthesis

H of one monosach and OH of another, create water, which allows a bond to form between the two monosachs which is called glycosidic linkage

What is glycosidic linkage

the bond between two monosaccharides from dehydration synthesis

examples of disaccharide

sucrose, lactoses

what is a plysaccharide

many monosaccharides joined together

what are the two functions of polysaccharides

energy storage polysaccharides, and structural polysaccharides

what is the plant and animal version of energy poly.

plants: starch Animals: Gycogen

what are the structural polysaccharides in plants and animals

Plants: cellulose Animals: chitin

examples of polysaccharides (energy)

Starch, glycogen

Example of polysaccharides (structure)

Chitin, cellulose
