what are polymers?
large complex molecules composed of monomers
1 of 20
what are monomers?
smale basic molecular units which form polmers in large chains
2 of 20
reactants and products of condensation
reactants- monomers products- polmer n water
3 of 20
opposite of condensation
hydrolysis
4 of 20
name 3 monosaccharides
glucose, fructose, galactose
5 of 20
differance between alpha n beta glucose
oh group on last carbon is switch (top for beta)
6 of 20
bond formed by condensation
glycosidic bond
7 of 20
name 3 disaccharides and their monsacccharides
lactose-glucose galatcose sucrose-glucose fructose maltose-alpha glucose

what is benedicts test testing for?
reducing n non reducing sugars
9 of 20
how to test for non reducing sugars
add benedicts solution. boil. red precipitate forms
10 of 20
extra step from non redcuing sugars
add bendicts reagent n diliute hcl boil n neutralise with hco3
11 of 20
starch structure
made of amylose (long unbranched chains coiled+ very compact +good for storage) n amylopectin (long branched chains easily broken down)
12 of 20
why is starch good for storage
compact chains and insoluble= no affect on water potiential
13 of 20
structure glycogen
branched chains n very compacted
14 of 20
cellulose structure
chains of unbranched B glucose linked by H bonds forming strong fibres = micrfibrils
15 of 20
how to test for starch
add iodine dissolved in potassium iodide to sample dar blue= starch
16 of 20
describe trigyceride
one glycerol n
17 of 20
differance between saturated n unsaturated fatty acids
S has only sing c-c bonds US has sing n double
18 of 20
what bond is between glycerol n fatty acids
ester bond
19 of 20
describe phospholipid
one phosphate group n glycerol n 2 fatty acids in cell membrane
