- Carbohydrates
- Monosaccharides
- trioses
- pentoses
- ribose
- deoxyribose
- constituents of nucelotides that form RNA and DNA
- ribose
- constituents of nucelotides that form RNA and DNA
- hexoses
- beta glucose
- produce disaccharides: alpha + fructose = sucrose aphla + alpha = maltose
- fructose
- alpha glucose
- produce disaccharides: alpha + fructose = sucrose aphla + alpha = maltose
- fructose
- alpha glucose
- beta glucose
- Disaccharides
- maltose
- product of starch digestion
- sucrose
- (cane sugar) form in which carbohydrates are transported in plants
- maltose
- Polysaccharides
- amylose
- a-glucose monomer
- a-1,4 glycosidic bonds only
- unbranched, helical
- found in starch grains in living plant cells - store of glucose
- amylopectin
- a-glucose monomer
- a-1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds
- branched, helical
- found in starch grains in living plant cells - store of glucose
- glycogen
- a-glucose monomer
- a-1,4 and 1,6 glycosidic bonds
- branched, helical
- found in granules in liver and muscle cells of mammals - store of glucose
- cellulose
- B-glucose monomer
- B-1,4 glycosidic bonds only
- straight chains cross-linked to parallel chains
- found in cell walls of plant cells - structural support
- amylose
- form by: condensation reactions
- break down by: hydrolysis reactions
- glycosidic bond
- form by: condensation reactions
- glycosidic bond
- Monosaccharides
