- Glycogen
- Primary storage of glucose in animals
- Monosacharides
- Glycosidic Bonds
- Glycosidic bonds create Disacharides
- Disacharides
- 2 monosacharides joined together
- Eg. Maltose (glucose+glucose)
- Polysacharide
- More than 2 monosacharides joined together
- Condensation reaction
- A 1-4 glycosidic bond
- 2 OHs react forming H20
- Leaves behind an O between the 1-4 carbon (a glycosidic bond)
- 2 OHs react forming H20
- A 1-4 glycosidic bond
- A simple sugar ie. Glucose
- Glycosidic Bonds
- Disacharides
- 2 monosacharides joined together
- Eg. Maltose (glucose+glucose)
