Carbohydrates

?
a-glucose + a-glucose =
Maltose
1 of 8
glucose + fructose =
Sucrose
2 of 8
glucose + galactose =
Lactose
3 of 8
Joins monosaccarides together
Condensation
4 of 8
Long, unbranched chain of glucose. Coiled structure makes it compact and good for storage
Amylose
5 of 8
Long, branched chain of glucose. Branches allow enzymes to break down the molecule to get to the glycosidic bonds easilyand therefore glucose is released quickly.
Amylopectin
6 of 8
Similar to Amylopectin
Glycogen
7 of 8
Long unbranched chains of beta glucose
Cellulose
