Structure of cellulose |
•Beta glucose molecules join together through condensation reactions to form long straight chains • every other beta glucose molecules rotates 180 degrees to allow OH groups on carbon 1 and 4 to be adjacent to each other to form a glycosidic bond •several chains of cellulose are joined together in layers; these chains are held together by the formation of hydrogen bonds formed between OH groups •Hundreds of these chains are then held together by hydrogen bonds to form microfibrils •microfibrils form hydrogen bonds between other microfibrils and together form a cellulose fibre •cellulose fibres are woven to form cellulose cell wall •the large numbers of hydrogen bonds in the structure makes it extremely strong |
|
Structure of starch |
•Important characteristic of starch = insoluble -does it affect osmosis (presence of starch on solution will not lower water potential causing unwanted movement of water) -does not diffuse
Starch comes in two forms Amylase and Amylopectin |
|
Amylose |
•Long and straight chains of alpha glucose which coil into a helix •Carbon 1:4 •this structure is compact so is good for storage |
|
Monomer units which carbohydrates are composed? |
Monosaccharides |
|
Amylopectin |
•Branched chain of alpha glucose molecules •Carbon 1:4 and carbon 1:6 links •This provides a large surface area for rapid hydrolysis of enzymes |
|
Structure of glycogen |
Similar to starch however: -storter chains -more highly branched -larger surface area
•stored in muscles and liver •more short chains lead to glycogen being more readily hydrolysed into glucose •Like starch, glycogen is insoluble so does so does not affect water potential or diffuse out of cells |
|
Test for carbohydrates Reducing sugar |

Draw a diagram to show how two alpha glucose are joined by a condensation reaction |
|
|
What happens during a condensation reaction? |
•two monosaccharides join together. This forms a disaccharide •the reaction occurs between the OH groups on carbon 4 of one of the monosaccharide and carbon 1 on the other monosaccharides •the reaction produces one molecule of H2O •the bond which forms between the two monosaccharides is called a glycosidic bond |
|
What is molecule is produced in a condensation reaction? |
H2O |
|
