Carbohydrate |
Sugar |
|
|
Carbohydrate properties Polar/Nonpolar Charged/Uncharged Soluble/Insoluble |
Polar Uncharged Water soluble |
|
|
2 main types of Carbohydrates |
1. Metabolic 2. Structural |
|
|
Metabolic Sugar |
Used for Energy ex. glucose, glycogen, starch |
|
|
Structural Carbohydrate |
Polysaccharide, oligosaccharide, complex carbs (all words mean "polymers of sugars" Found in plant cell walls Can be found in membrane if attached to protein (becomes glycoprotein) or lipid (glycolipid) |
|
|
How to identify sugars |
Number of Carbons (3 to 6 usually) Pentose (5), Hexose (6) |
|
|
Disaccharide Formation |
2 monosaccharides can come together by condensation (removing water) to form a disaccharide ex. Glucose and Fructose bond to form sucrose |
|
|
Hydrolysis breaks/forms bonds Condensation breaks/forms bonds |
Hydrolysis breaks bonds (adding water) Condensation forms bonds (removing water) Bread in mouth tastes sweet because hydrolysis from saliva breaks down bonds` |
|
|
Polymers of glucose |
May differ only in strucutre, even though different compounds are made only of glucose Ex. Cellulose, Starch, Glycogen |
