Carbs - Chp. 15 Flashcards
(41 cards)
Carb formula
Cn(H2O)n
Glucose + Fructose
Sucrose (table sugar)
aldose
polyhydroxyl aldehyde
has an aldehyde group
ketose
poyhydroxyl ketone
ketone
Fructose is a
ketohexose
non super imposable images
chiral
carbon molecule is chiral if
it has at least one C atom bonded to four different atoms
D or L enantiomers (of monosaccharides) are more commonly used by the body?
D
most common Hexose
D-glucose (dextrose)
when an isomer opens and then returns back to the cyclic structrue (more stable), potentially altering the location of the –OH group
mutarotation
glucose + glucose =
maltose + h2o
glucose + galactose =
lactose + h2o
glucose + fructose =
sucrose + h2o
connects monosaccharides
glycosidic bond
Glycosidic bond is between 1 and 2 carbon so it cannnt form an open chain or be oxidized
(not a reducing sugar)
sucrose
amylose
amylopectin
glycogen
cellulose
D-glucose polysaccharides
starches can hydrolyze in water and acid to produce
dextrins
contain several hydroxyl groups attached to a chain of three to eight carbon atoms
Monosaccharides
the atoms are bonded in the same sequence but differ in the way they are arranged in space
stereoisomers
stereoisomers cannot be superimposed, they are called
enantiomers
places the most oxidized group at the top.
uses vertical lines for bonds that go back.
uses horizontal lines for bonds that go forward
Fischer projection
are produced from the reaction of a carbonyl group and a hydroxyl group in the same molecule.
Haworth structures
Alpha form (cyclic form)
OH is on the bttom
Beta form (cyclic form of sugar)
OH is on the top
