Carbohydrate |
Molecules with carbonyl (C=O) and several hydroxyl (-OH) functional groups, along with several to many carbon-hydrogen (C-H) bonds.
Form ring structures in aqueous solution by transferring a hydrogen from C-5 to the oxygen C-1. These can then form glycosidic linkages. |

Glycosidic Iinkage |
Back (Definition) |
|
|
Starch |
Alpha 1,4 glucose monomers amylose and amylopectin (branched due to alpha C-1 and C-6 linkages), where amylopectin branches every 30 monomers. |
|
|
Glycogen |
Same as starch accept Alpha 1,6 linkages every 10 glucose subunits |
|
|
Cellulose |
Found in plants cell wall. Polymer made of beta-glucose 1,4 linkages which form a chain. Hydrogen bonds occur between the chains, reinforcing the structure. |
