CARBOHYDRATES-SUGARS

CARBOHYDRATES-SUGARS (mono and di)

Monosaccharides the simplest carbohydrates, generally have 3 to 6 C atoms in a chain
What you call to Aldehyde monosaccharides Aldoses
What you call to Ketone monosaccharides Ketoses
The simplest aldose glyceraldehyde
The simplest ketose dihydroxyacetone
Aldehyde and Ketose are ______ _______ of each other sharing the formula C3H6O3 constitutional isomers
A monosaccharide is characterized by the number of C atoms in its chain: triose = ? tetrose = ? pentose = ? hexose = ? 3, 4, 5, 6
The terms are then combined with the words aldose and ketose: Glyceraldehyde = ? aldotriose
The terms are then combined with the words aldose and ketose: Dihydroxyacetone = ? ketotriose
This sugar is made up of one simple unit of sugar monosaccharide
This sugar is made up of two units of sugar disaccharide
They are polar compounds with high melting points. monosaccharide
This sugar is very water soluble monosaccharide
Glucose (dextrose) is blood's sugar and the most abundant monosaccharide.
Normal blood glucose levels 70-110 mg/dL
Excess glucose is stored as polysaccharide glycogen or as fat
This regulates blood glucose levels by stimulating the uptake of glucose into tissues or the formation of glycogen. Insulin
Patients with diabetes produce __________ insulin to adequately regulate blood sugar levels, so they must monitor their diet and/or inject insulin daily. insufficient
List the common monosaccharides: galactose fructose
It is one of the components of the disaccharide lactose galactose
it is the lack of an enzyme needed to metabolize galactose, which accumulates and causes cataracts and cirrhosis. galactosemia
It is one of the components of the disaccharide sucrose fructose
It is a ketohexose found in honey and almost twice as sweet as table sugar with the same number of calories per gram fructose
Composed of two monosaccharides Disaccharides
The bond that joins the monosaccharides together glycosidic linkage (glycosidic bond)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
