- DEPTH
- Mono-saccharides
- GLUCOSE
- Alpha glucose
- Beta glucose
- GLUCOSE
- Di -sacchardides
- This is when only two mono-saccharides are joined togther
- Poly-saccharides
- This is when more than two mono-saccharides joined together
- Poly-saccharides
- Glycosidic bonds are broken when a chain of glucose are broken by the hydrolysis reaction
- Glycosidic bonds are formed when glucose are joined together by condensation reaction
- This is when only two mono-saccharides are joined togther
- STARCH
- Amylose
- Long, unbranched chain of a-glucose
- The angles of the glycosidic bonds gives it a coiled structure
- 1-4 glycosidic bonds
- The coiled structure makes amylose very compact
- This makes is amazing for storage
- HYDROGEN BONDS, hold the coil structure together
- Amylopectin
- Long, BRANCHED chain of a-glucose
- CONSISTS of 1-4 & 1-6 glycosidic bonds
- The side branches can easily be 'snipped off' by enzymes
- This breaks the glycosidic bonds very easily.
- Producing glucose very quickly
- This breaks the glycosidic bonds very easily.
- MAIN ENERGY STORAGE MATERIAL IN PLANTS
- Amylose
- GLYCOGEN
- MAIN ENERGY STORAGE MATERIAL IN ANIMALS
- A long, branched chain of a-glucose.
- 1-4 and MANY 1-6 GLYCOSIDIC BONDS
- This means lots of side branches
- LOTS OF BRANCHES means stored glucose can be released QUICKLY
- This is important due to animals having a high metabolism
- LOTS OF BRANCHES means stored glucose can be released QUICKLY
- This means lots of side branches
- The branches also makes it compact, which is GREAT FOR STORAGE
- Animals store excess glucose as gycogen
- In the liver or muscle cells
- Helps to control HIGH BLOOD GLUCOSE LEVELS
- Beta cells detect the change in glucose.
- In the Islet of Langerhans
- B-CELL SECRETES INSULIIN
- INSULIN can complementary bind to receptors in the liver cells or muscle cells
- This increases the permeability of the cell membrane to GLUCOSE.
- INSULIN activates an enzyme that CONVERTS glucose into glycogen
- This increases the permeability of the cell membrane to GLUCOSE.
- INSULIN can complementary bind to receptors in the liver cells or muscle cells
- MAIN ENERGY STORAGE MATERIAL IN ANIMALS
- CELLULOSE
- THE MAJOR COMPONENT OD THE CELL WALLS IN PLANTS
- Chains of B-GLUCOSE
- Cellulose chains are straight and linear
- HYDROGEN BONDS are held between the linear chains of rotated b-glucose
- This gives additional strength
- PREVENTS them from spiralling
- HYDROGEN BONDS are held between the linear chains of rotated b-glucose
- Hydrogen and Hydroxyl groups are inverted in b-glucose
- There are 1-4 GLYCOSIDIC BONDS
- This also prevent the chain from spiraling.
- Provides strength
- When many cellulose chains are joins together
- This makes a Micro-fibril
- THE MAJOR COMPONENT OD THE CELL WALLS IN PLANTS
- Mono-saccharides
