| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| carbohydate | ch2o. short/long term energy source, common component of structural materials. ends in -ose |
| monosaccharide | single carbohydrate monomer / molecule |
| disaccharide | 2 linked monomers |
| polysaccharide | many linked monomers |
| homopolysaccharide | same monosaccharide unit |
| heteropolysaccharide | 2+ diff monosaccharide units |
| aldose | contains aldehyde |
| ketose | contains ketone |
| isomers | same # of atoms |
| structural isomers | isomers which differ based on how the atoms are connected |
| stereoisomers | same atomic connectivity, differ in spatial orientation |
| enantiomers | special class of stereoisomers - mirror images |
| 2 enantiomers | D configuration (OH on right) L configuration (OH on left) |
| monosaccharide equilibrium states | linear & ring conformations |
| carb bonds | glycosidic |
| glycogen | polysaccharide storage form used in animals, produced & stored in liver |
| starch | polysaccharide storage form used in plants. made of amylose & amylopectin |
| a-glucose examples | glycogen, amylose, amylopectin |
| b-glucose examples | cellulose, chitin |
| break down complex sugars through hydrolysis | glycosidases (humans only have a) |
| glycogenesis | making glycogen when there is more glucose than ATP demand |
| glycogenolysis | breaking down glycogen because low glucose |
| gluconeogenesis | making glucose from non-carb molecules |
| insulin | produced by pancreas, triggers uptake of glucose from blood, maintains blood glucose concentrations |
