Carbohydrates are
simple sugars to complex polysaccharides
1 of 16
Use of carbohydrates
source of energy and structural uses
2 of 16
Water's use
parts of tissue, transport medium and site for chemical reactions
3 of 16
Condensation reaction
2 molecules react together, a water molecue is removed and a bond is formed
4 of 16
H bonds
Slight + charge and forms weak bond with negative atoms.
5 of 16
Hydrolysis reaction
molecule split usign water
6 of 16
Monomer
one unit- can be condensed into polymers
7 of 16
Polymer
many monomers 2 = dimer
8 of 16
What are carbs made of?
carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, like fats. Can tell difference becuse fats have less oxygen, carbs have a 2:1 ratio.
9 of 16
Structual uses or carbs
Cellulose (plants), chitin (fungi and insect shells)
