is the simplest sugar and the basic subunit of a carbohydrate.
glucose and fructose.
The most common monosaccharides are
isomers
Compounds with the same molecular formulas are called
glycogen
Sometimes we eat too much, especially when we are tired, the excess glucose is stored in the liver as ________ for later use.
fructose
Fruits like grapes, apple or atis contain a monosaccharide called _____ or fruit sugar
disaccharide
teacher who mentioned one time in their class that the sugar we use to sweeten coffee is a
Condensation
reaction is a reaction in which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine.
Hydrolysis reaction
occurs when the bond between monosaccharides is broken with the addition of a water molecule.
galactose and glucose
Lactose is made up of a sugar called
lactase
a specific enzyme, ____ is necessary to help break the bond between the two monosaccharides when lactose is digested.
"lactose intolerant"
People who cannot digest milk products are called
polysaccharides
wherein the food samples like sweet potato and ripe banana turned blue-black when stained with iodine solution. In their class discussion, these foods contain
many
poly means
starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
three common polysaccharides-
Starch
is the chief storage form of carbohydrates in plants and the most important source of carbohydrate in human nutrition.
Glycogen
is a polysaccharide that is similar to starch because it is also composed of alpha glucose units.
lipids
that have the "job" of storing energy for later use.
fats and oils
The most abundant of the lipids are the
lard and butter
Examples of animal fats are
Steroids
are another class of lipids whose molecules are composed of fused rings of atoms.
cholesterol.
The most important steroid is
enzymes
It is known as biological catalysts.
DNA replication.
The process by which an identical copy of the original DNA is formed is called
monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Carbohydrates are classified into three subtypes:
Monosaccharide
is the simplest sugar and the basic subunit of a carbohydrate.
one
mono means
glucose and fructose.
The most common monosaccharides are
C6H12O6
Although both of these onosaccharides have the formula
