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 11 of 11
