Biology Carbohydrates

Front 1

Molecule

Back 1

A group of atoms bonded together, representing the smallest fundamental unit of a chemical compound.

Front 2

Macromolecules

Back 2

A molecule containing a very large number of atoms

Front 3

Carbohydrate

Back 3

organic compound present in all living things and a major organic nutrient for the humans
Made of : C carbon , H hydrogen , O Oxygen
- Provide quick energy structure to the plants in the form of a cell wall that is rigid

Front 4

carbohydrates, Lipids , Protein, and Nucleic Acids

Back 4

4 Classes of macromolecules

Front 5

Saccharides

Back 5

Meaning Sugar

Front 6

Polysacchrides

Back 6

A Carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a number of atoms ( more than two)
Poly meaning many

Front 7

disaccharides

Back 7

a carborhydrate whose molecules consist of two atoms
Dis Meaning Two
- Any of a class of sugars whose molecules contain two monosaccharide residues.

Front 8

Monosaccharides

Back 8

A carbohydrate with molecule of one atom
-Any of the class of sugars (e.g., glucose) that cannot be hydrolyzed to give a simpler sugar.

Back 9

Subunits that make up carbohydrates = monomer = monossachride

Front 10

Cellulose

Back 10

Carbohydrate or poly saccharides that provide structure to plant cell walls ; provide rigidity( meaning the physical property of being stiff and resisting bending).

Front 11

Starch

Back 11

Storage of carbohyrates in plants ( example Apples and potatoes
