Carbohydrates Notes Flashcards
(24 cards)
monosaccharide
simple sugar
example of monosaccharides
glucose, fructose, galactose
disaccharide
2 simple sugars chemically bonded
example of disaccharides
maltose, lactose, fructose
polysaccharide
many sugars chemically combined
example of polysaccharides
starch, glycogen, cellutose
molecules are built and chemically bonded with the removal of water
dehydration synthesis
the bond formed between a carbohydrate and another molecule
glycosidic link
breaking down bonds between molecules by adding water
hydroylosis
carbohydrates….
- a huge source of energy for living things
- provides structure
Lipids:
carbon hydrogen and ________________ oxygen
very few
a fatty acid tail is hydrophobic which is
water hating
glycerol head is hydrophillic which is
water loving
primary function of lipids is to
store energy
composed of a glycerol head and three fatty acid tails
triglyceride
no double bonds present in the fatty acid tail
saturated fat
double bond or bonds present in the tail
unsaturated fat
what is another name for carbon compounds
organic compounds
which compounds have the same moleculer formula but different structures
isomers
which of these compounds has the maximum possible number of hydrogen atoms on its carbon chain
saturated hydrocarbon
compounds that contain only the elements carbon and hydrogen are called
hydrocarbon
what shapes do hydrocarbons NOT form
geodesic domes
how many can chemical bond can each carbon atom form
4
A very large organic molecule made up of chains of smaller molecules is called a
polymer
