  • condensation reaction

    2 molecules are joined together with the removal of water
  • hydrolysis reaction
    uses water to split the molecules apart

  • isomer
    molecules with the same chemical formula but the atoms are arranged differently
  • the monomers from which larger carbohydrates are made
    monosaccharides
  • 3 monosaccharides
    glucose, galactose, fructose
  • what does a condensation reaction between to monosaccharides form
    a glycosidic bond
  • what are formed by the condensation of two monosaccharides

    disaccharides
  • disaccharides are joined by a..
    glycosidic bond
  • glucose + glucose -->
    maltose
  • glucose + galactose -->
    lactose
  • glucose + fructose -->
    sucrose
  • what happens when two monosaccharides join together
    .
    A) H₂O
    B) condensation
    C) glycosidic bond forms
    D) disaccharide
    E) O
    F) OH
    G) OH
  • what are formed by the condensation of many glucose units
    polysaccharides
  • 3 polysaccharides
    starch, cellulose, glycogen
  • how is starch formed
    condensation of glucose
  • how is glycogen formed
    condensation of glucose
  • how is cellulose formed
    condensation of β glucose
  • starch linkage
    C1-4 (amylose) & C1-6 (amylopectin)
  • glycogen linkage
    C1-4 & C1-6
  • cellulose linkage
    C1-4 and the OH group on C1 is flipped every other molecule
  • what reaction forms polysaccharides and what bond is formed
    condensation, glycosidic
  • function of cellulose
    structure strength for cell wall
  • location of cellulose
    cell wall; plants
  • structure of cellulose
    forms long straight chains held in parallel by hydrogen bonds to form fibrils- give a high tensile strength
  • how is cellulose adapted to its function
    many hydrogen bonds creates a collective strength, insoluble: won't affect water potential
  • function of starch
    acts as a store of glucose
  • location of starch
    plant cells
  • structure of starch
    it has 2 polymers: amylose (an unbranched helix) & amylopectin (a branched molecule)
  • how is starch adapted to its function
    helix can compact (fits lots of glucose in a small area), branched (inc surface area for rapid hydrolysis back to glucose), insoluble (won't affect the water potential of the cell)
  • function of glycogen
    acts as a store of glucose
  • location of glycogen
    animals- muscle & liver cells
  • structure of glycogen
    a highly branched molecule
  • how is glycogen adapted to its function
    branched structure (inc surface area for rapid hydrolysis back to glucose), insoluble (won't affect water potential)
