Carbohydrates and monomers

Question 1

What is a monomer and polymer e.g?
What are monosacharides and how are they formed?
Benidicts for reducing and non reducing?

Answer 1

Monomers- small molecular unit, AminoAcid/nucleotide/monosacharide. Polymer-large complex molecule from monomers
Monosacharide(glucose/fruc/galag) joined condensation- water released. Hydrolysis use water to break polymer
Non reducing- hydrochloric acid, sodium hydrogen carbonate. neutralize. Red +

Question 2

What are polysacharide how they made?

Answer 2

Polyscharide- polymers formed by many monosacharide via condensation e.g many glucose together forms amylase.

Question 3

Starch

Answer 3

Starch- Energy storage plant. Chain of gluc of amylase/pectin. Amylase- long unbrached chain of glucose, glycosidic angles coils it compact.
Amylopectin- long branched glucose side branch enzyme break for energy glucose released .
Iodine in potassium iodide- Black blue dark

Question 4

Glycogen

Answer 4

Energy storage animal- Made from a glucose, insoluble compact. Amylopectin high branch broken glucose released. respiration metabolic

Question 5

Cellulose

Answer 5

Component of cell wall, long branch beta glucose. chain via H bond forms microfirbrls for strengh
