Carbohydrates - taken from CGP AS level biology revision 2008

        Help!  

Question
Answer
What are carbohydrates made from?   Monosaccharides  
🗑
Most carbohydrates are large complex molecules, but what are they composed of?   Long chains of monosaccharides (e.g starch is a large carbohydrate composed of long chains of glucose!)  
🗑
What are SINGLE monosaccharides called?   Carbohydrates  
🗑
What is GLUCOSE?   Hexose Sugar  
🗑
What is HEXOSE sugar?   A monosaccharide with '6' carbon atoms in each molecule  
🗑
What two forms of glucose are there?   alpha (α) and beta (β)  
🗑
What is the main energy source in animals and plants?   Glucose  
🗑
What is good about the structure of Glucose?   It can easily be transported  
🗑
Glucose's chemical bond contains.....   Lots of energy  
🗑
What are DISACCHARIDES?   Two monosaccharides joined together  
🗑
How are monosaccharides joined together?   GLYCOSIDIC bonds in a condensation reaction  
🗑
When HYDROGEN on one monosaccharide bonds to a HYDROXYL (OH) group on the other, what happens?   They release a molecule of water  
🗑
So what is the reverse of this called?   HYDROLYSIS reaction, where a molecule of water reacts with the glycoside bond, breaking it apart  
🗑
What do two monosaccharides joining together form?   Disaccharide  
🗑
Two α-glucose molecules joined together by a glycosidic bond form what?   Maltose  
🗑
Name two more Disaccharides: ___ose and ___ose?   Lactose and Sucrose  
🗑
Name two Monosaccharides: β-__ose + ___ose & α-___ose + ___ose?   β-glucose + galactose, α-glucose + fructose  
🗑
What are chains of more than two monosaccharides called?   Polysaccharides  
🗑
How are polysaccharides formed?   When more than two monosaccharides join together  
🗑
Polysaccharides for in exactly the same way as disaccharides, can you remember how?   A condensation reaction releasing a molecule of water  
🗑
What do lots of α-glucose molecules joining together by glycosidic bonds form?   AMYLOSE  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
