What are the monomer that make up carbohydrates called?
Monosaccharides
1 of 11
What type of carbohydrate is glucose?
monosaccharide with six carbon atoms = Hexose monosaccharide
2 of 11
What are the two main forms of glucose?
alpha + beta = both have a ring structure
3 of 11
List two functions of the structure of glucose?
Soluble+ can be easily transported
4 of 11
What type of carbohydrate is Ribose?
monosaccharide with fiver carbons atoms= Pentose monosaccharide
5 of 11
What are all carbohydrates made up of?
Three chemical elements= carbon, hydrogen + oxygen.
6 of 11
What types of bonds are monosaccharides joined together by?
Glycosidic bonds
7 of 11
Define a 'condensation reaction'
H+ atom on one monosaccharide bonds to hydroxyl (OH) group on other, this releases a molecule of water.
8 of 11
Define ' Hydrolysis reaction'
molecule of water reacts with the glycosidic bond, breaking it apart.
9 of 11
When is a disaccharide formed?
When two monosaccharides join together.
10 of 11
When is a polysaccharide formed ?
when more than two monosaccharides are together
