Calories for carbohydrates |
4Cal/g |
|
Empirical formula for carbohydrates |
[CH2O]n |
|
Carbohydrates also contain |
Nitrogen, Phosphorous, sulphur |
|
Which type of carbohydrates not follow [CH2O]n formula |
Deoxyribose, rhamnohexos |
|
Carbohydrates are stored in form of |
Glycogen (in animals) starch (in plants) |
|
Carbohydrates are structural components in animals, plants and insects as |
Glycosaminoglycans, cellulose, chitin |
|
Cellulose is a |
Non-digestable carbohydrate |
|
Carbohydrates are classified into |
Monosaccharides Oligosaccharides Polysaccharides |
|
Moat abundant organic compound in biosphere |
Cellulose |
|
Moat abundant organic compound in biosphere |
Cellulose |
|
Oligosaccharides contain (n) monosaccharide molecules |
2-10 monosaccharide units |
|
No.of isomers is determined by |
No.of asymmetric carbon atoms (2^x) |
|
D isomer is determined |
''-OH group'' is on the right side of the primary alcohol carbon atom |
|
Optical activity is a feature of |
Asymmetric carbon atoms |
|
Optical activity is |
Ray of light on paasing through a solution, the optical isomer either turns to right (dextrorotatory d+) and left (levorotatory l-) |
|
What is a racemic mixture |
d and l - isomers present in equal conc. |
|
Optical activity of racemic mixture |
0, because the dextro and Levorotatory activities cancel each other |
|
Epimers |
Change in the structural configuration of any other c-atom other than an anomer in a monosaccharide. |
|
Epimers at C4 |
Glucose and galactose |
|
Epimers at C2 or C2 epimers |
Glucose and mannose |
|
Epimerization |
Interconversion of epimers |
|
Enzyme to catalyse epimerization |
Epimerase |
|
What is an emantiomer |
Molecules that are mirror images of each other |
|
Diastereomers |
Not mirror images of each other |
|
Alpha anomer |
Carb. Where the -OH group that is bound to the anomeric carbon is trans to the CH2O group and is present on the other side of the ring |
|
Beta anomer |
The carb. Where the Group bounded to the anomeric carbon is in, cis to the -CH2O group. |
|
When does optical rotation decrease |
In alkali |
|
Isomers |
Have same formula but different Structure |
|
Constitutional isomers |
Differ in order of attachment of atoms |
|
Steroisomers are divided into |
Enatiomers and diastereomers |
|
Enantiomers |
Non superimposable mirror images |
|
Diastereomers |
Isomers that are not mirror images |
|
Unequal mixture of emantiomers |
Enantiomers excess (e.e) |
|
Peptidoglycan is also known as |
Murein |
|
Peptidoglycan is |
Sugar component with beta(1→4) alternating residues with n-acetylglucosamine (NAG) and n-acetylmuramicacid (NAM). It forms a mesh like layer btw plasma layer and outer layer |
