| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is a carbohydrate for? | short and long term energy storage, cell structure |
| Give 2 examples of carbohydrates | starch, glucose |
| what are the 3 different structures that they make? | Monosaccharide, disaccharide, polysaccharide |
| What is a monosaccharide? | single sugar, examples: glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose |
| What is the shape of glucose? | hexagon |
| What is the shape of fructose? | pentagon |
| What is the shape of galactose? | hexagon |
| What is the shape of ribose? | pentagon |
| what is a disaccharide? | double sugar, examples: maltose, lactose, sucrose |
| Maltose = _+_ | glucose + GLUCOSE |
| Lactose = _+_ | glucose + GALACTOSE |
| Sucrose = _+_ | glucose + FRUCTOSE |
| What is a polysaccharide? | many sugars, examples: starch, glycogen, cellulose |
| Starch | energy storage in plants |
| Glycogen | energy storage in animals (liver and muscle) |
| Cellulose | cell structure in plants |
| Chitin | structured molecules in exoskeleton of organisms (shells) |
