Carbohydrates

Question 1

Where is energy stored?

Answer 1

Energy is stored in C- C bonds harvested in cellular respiration

Question 2

What are carbohydrates composed of?

Answer 2

C, H, O

Question 3

Sugars

Answer 3

• Ends with -se, mostly
• classified by number of carbobns
  
  • 6C= Glucose
  • 5C= Ribose
  • 3C Glyceraldehyde

Question 4

Sugar Structure

Answer 4

• Glucose and Ribose form rings in solution

Question 5

Simple Comple Sugars

Answer 5

1.) Monosaccharides
- Simple 1 monomer sugars
- glucose, Fructose, Galactose
2.) Dissacharide
- 2 Monomers
- Sucrose, maltose, Lactose
3.) Polysaccharide
- Large Polymers
- Starch

Question 6

Polysaccharides structure

Answer 6

• cellulose (plants)
• chitin (arthropods and fungi)

Question 7

Polysaccharides function

Answer 7

energy storage
- starch (plants)
- glycogen (animals)
- found in liver and muscles

Question 8

Monomer

Answer 8

Sugar

Question 9

Helpful bacteria

Answer 9

Bacteria live in a herbivored digestive system and helped digest cellulose- rich (grass)

Question 10

Example

Answer 10

Sugar, cellulose, starches

Question 11

Ex. Cow vs Gorilla

Answer 11

Cow can digest cellulose well; no need to eat other sugars.
Forilla can digest cellulose well; must add anothjer sugar source

Question 12

Digestion (Starch vs Cellulose)

Answer 12

1.) Starch: Easy to digest
- all glycosidc linkage are on same side= molecules lies flat
2.) Celluilose: Hard to digest
- cross linking )H (H bonds)= rigid structure.

Question 13

Cellulose

Answer 13

• Herbivored evolved a mechanism to digest cellulose
  = most carnivores cannot just eat meat and survive
• cellulose= unbdigestable roughpahe

Question 14

Building Sugars

Answer 14

Monomers are joined together by dehydration synthesis

Question 15

Alpha Vs. Beta

Answer 15

OH is on the bottom for alpha and beta is the opposite

Question 16

Carbohydrate Function

Answer 16

• Fast Energy
• Raw Materials
• Structural materials
• Energy Storage
