Chapter 14 - Carbohydrates
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| carbohydrates | aldehydes or ketones with many hydroxyl groups |
| monosaccharides | glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose |
| glyceraldehyde | CHO-COH-CH2OH |
| if lowest -OH is on the right | D molecule |
| if lowest -OH is on the left | L molecule |
| fructose | has ketone |
| glucose | alternates but mostly OH on rght |
| galactose | 2 in the middle are the same |
| mannose | first two are the same |
| alpha | C1 is in axial position which is less favored bcuz sterically hindered |
| beta | C1 is equitorial position (up); lower E so favored |
| glycosidic rxns | hemiacetal (monosaccharide in chair formation) + alcohol = acetal (alpha and beta) |
| Disaccharides | two monosaccharides; maltose, sucrose, lactose |
| maltose | glucose and glucose |
| sucrose | fructose and glucose |
| lactose | glucose and galactose |
| Polysaccharides | long chains of mono; starch, glycogen, cellulose |
| cellulose | 1,4 beta linkage; cant be digested by animals |
| starch and glycogen | E in plants and animals respectively; 1,4 and 1,6 alpha linkages |
