| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Chirality | same # atoms arranged differently in 3d space |
| Enantiomers | non superimposable mirror image |
| diastereomers | nonsuperimposable not mirror image |
| Monosaccharides | -simple sugar -lots of -OH -c=o -end with ose |
| Glucose | -6 C ring -short term E -equilibrium |
| Fisher projection | -OH on left L -OH on right D -C 1 at top C=O |
| Haworth | -Alpha trans OH below -Beta cis OH above |
| Fisher--->Haworth | -Left= above plane -Right= below pane |
| Oliglosaccharides | -glycosidic linkages -disaccharide's= 2 -Alpha & Beta forms |
| Sucrose | glucose + fructose |
| Maltose | 2 X Glucose |
| Polysaccharides | -storage & structural -100/1000's of mono -glycosidic linkages |
| how do poly saccharides differ? | -Length of chains -types of bonds -degree of branching -re-occurring mono units |
| polysaccharides with Alpha glucose? | -Solubility -HO- points out -helix |
| Polysaccharides with Beta Glucose? | -Strength -straight structure -HO- side-by-side |
| Starch | -storage in plants -~1mg/mL solubility -1-4 a OR 1-4&1-6a |
| Two forms of starch | -Amylose pectin: branched -Amylose: straight chain |
| Glycogen | -V. soluble>10mg/mL -1-4&1-6 a -more branched than amylose pectin -~10residues |
| Chitin | -anthropoid exoskeleton -1-4B -no N attached to C |
| Cellulose | -Most abundant, plant wall -1-4B -stable configuration=flat sheets |
