  • Monosaccharides + polysaccharides
    • All monomers have the formula: (CH2O)n
      • 3 main types of monosaccharides with the formula: C6H12O6       All are isomers of glucose
        • Fructose
        • Glucose
        • Galactose
    • Alpha glucose:
      • .                                                                                                             .
    • Beta glucose:
      • .
    • All reactions that join monomers=  condensation reactions.     But the name of the chemical bond formed varies depending on the monomers involved.
    • Disaccharide = 2 monosaccharides joined by a chemical bond.
      • Formed during a condensation reaction.
        • .
      • 3 main ones:
        • Glucose + Glucose = MALTOSE
        • Glucose + Fructose = SUCROSE
        • Glucose + Galactose = LACTOSE
