🗑
|
||||
| Define Disaccharides | Two Monosaccharide units
🗑
|
||||
| What is one type of disaccharide? | Sucrose
🗑

| Define Polysaccharide | Sugar polymers containing more than 20 or so monosaccharide units or even hundreds
🗑
|
||||
| Name one polysaccharide | Cellulose/ Glycogen
🗑
|
||||
| What is a ketone? | ROR (O is double bonded)
🗑
|
||||
| What is a aldehyde? | RCOH (O is double bonded)
🗑
|
||||
| What are the two familes of monosaccharides? | Aldoses and Ketoses
🗑
|
||||
| What is an aldose? | Carbonyl group is at the end of the carbon chain (Aldehyde Group)
🗑
|
||||
| What is an ketose? | the carbonyl group is at any other position (ketone)
🗑

| Hemiacetal/Hemiketal | Alcohol + Aldehyde/Ketone -> R/R/OH/OR (OR) R/H/OH/OR
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Pyranose | Six membered rings resembling pyran like glucose
🗑
|
||||
| Furanose | Five membered rings resembling furan
🗑

| Anomer | Isomeric forms of monosaccharides that differ only in their configuration around the hemiacetal or hemiketal carbon
🗑
|
||||
| Mutarotation | The conversion of anomers
🗑
|
||||
| Can a glycosidic bond be oxidized? | No because it does not have a free anomeric carbon
🗑
|
||||
| What if the configuration of the anomeric carbon in a glycosidic linkage? | Alpha
🗑
|
||||
| Glycans | another name for polysaccharides
🗑
|
||||
| Homopolysaccharides | Glycogen/ Starch/ Cellulose/ Chitin/ Dextrans
🗑
|
||||
| Why does glucose not exist in its monomeric form in the liver? | The osmolarity would be increased and water would rush into the cell and burst it and the free energy for glucose uptake into the cell would be very high because of higher concentration of glucose inside the cell
🗑
|
||||
| Dextrans | Bacterial and yeast polysaccharides
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Glycoaminoglycans | Linear repeating disaccharide units
🗑
|
||||
| Glycoproteins | Many oligosaccharides covalently bonded to a protein and are rich in information forming highly specific sites for recognition and high affinity binding
🗑
|
||||
| glycolipids | Oligosaccharides and protiens which can act as specific sites for recognition
🗑
|
||||

🗑
|
||||
| Factors that contribute to information richness of oligosaccharides/multitude | Branched structures which are not found in protiens/nucleic acids/ modification by sulfation or acetylation. More density in information than nucleic acids
🗑
|
||||
| Lectins | Proteisn that bind carbohydrates which serve in cell-cell recognition/ signaling and adhesion processes and intracellular targeting

|
||||
| Selectins | Family of plasma membrane lectins that mediate cell-cell recognition and adhesion
🗑
