Chapter 5 Carbs Bio
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| monosaccharides | monomers of carbohydrates or sugars |
| oligosaccharides | few sugars |
| polysaccharides | many sugars |
| carbohydrates consists of which two groups | carbonyl and several hydroxyl |
| two smallest monosaccharides | ketose and aldose |
| another name for ketose and aldose | ketone sugar and aldehyde sugar |
| where are carbonyl groups in ketose and aldose's carbon chain | within and at the end of molecules |
| presence of carbonyl and hydroxyl groups gives sugars what kind of functional groups | reactive and hydrophilic functional groups |
| number osf what atoms caries in monosaccharides | carbon |
| three carbond sugars | trioses |
| five carbon sugars | pentoses |
| six carbon sugar | hexose |
| three ways monosaccharides can very | location of carbonyl group, number of carbon atoms, and spatial arrangement of atoms |
| glucose is mostly found in what kind of structure | ring |
| alpha glucose has hydroxyl group where | below plane |
| beta glucose has hydroxyl group where | above plane |
| general formula of carbohydrates | (CH20)n |
| two six carbon sugars | glucose and galatose |
| to form ring structure, what bonds in linear form | oxygen and carbon |
| to form ring structure, oxygen from which carbon bonds to which carbon | 5 to 1 |
| where is -OH in alpha/beta glucose | carbon 1 |
| two sugars | disaccharides |
| maltose is made up of | 2 alpha glucose |
| lactose is made up of | beta galactose and beta glucose |
| glycosidic linkage | covalent interaction bwteen two hydroxy groups |
| which bond is harder to break, a glycosidic or beta | beta |
| why can location and geometry of gycosidic linkages vary among polysaccharides | because glycosidic linkages form between hyroxyl groups and every monosaccharide contains at least two hydroxyls |
| two common glycosidic linkages | alpha 1,4 and beta 1,4 |
| alpha and beta refer to what in bonds of glucose rings | orientation of C-1 hydroxyls (above/below plane) |
| starch consists of what kind of monomers | alpha glucose |
| which two polysaccharides make up starch | amylose and amylopectin |
| which polysaccharide contains only alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkages | amylose |
| function of starch | monosaccharide storage in plant cells |
| function of glycogen | animal storage |
| which polymer has alpha 1,6 out of every 30 monomers? 10? | amylopectin, glycogen |
| major componenet of cell wal in plants | cellulose |
| Cellulose is polymer of what monomers and what linkages | beta glucose and beta 1,4 linkages |
| where is glycogen stored | liver and muscles |
| function of cellulose | structural support in cel walls of plants and algae |
| function of chitin | structural support of wal of fungi and insects |
| function of peptidoglycan | structural support inn bacteria cell walls |
| how does chitin differ from cellulose | it has NAG monosaccharide |
| which polysaccharides form alpha 1,4 glycosidic linkages | starch, glycogen |
| which polysaccharides form beta 1,4 glycosidic linkages | cellulose, chitin, peptidoglycan |
| Which two polysaccharies are joined by H bonds | cellylose and chitin |
| which polysaccharide is joined by peptide bonds | peptidoglycan |
| most abundant orgainc compound | cellulose |
| three functions of carbohydrates | provide structural fibrous materials, indicate cell identity, and store chemical energy |
| glycoprotein | unique sugars on surface of cell to identify self and nonself to immune system |
| a glycoprotein is made up of | short oligosaccharides |
| photosynthesis sores what in where | sunlight in bonds of carbohydrates |
| the C-O bonds in carbs have high or low potential energy? why? | low because of oxygens high electronegativity |
| the C-H bonds in carbs have high or low potential energy? why? | high beccause electronegativity of C and H is about the same |
| in C-C bonds in carbs, is there a high or low potential energy? why? | high because electrons are shared equally |
| which linkages are hydrolyzed to release glucose | alpha linkages |
| phosphorylase | enzyme that catalyzes hydrolysis of alpha linkages in glycogen molecules in protein |
| amylases | enzyme that catalyzes breaking down of alpha linkages in glycogen molecules in protein |
