(115 cards)
What are some properties we can use to classify carbohydrates?
How many carbons, C=O functional group location, # of sugar units, sterochemistry
Trioses
3-C sugars
Tetroses
4-Carbon sugars
Pentoses
5-Carbon sugars
Hexoses
6 C sugars
What are the monosaccharide components of the disaccharides maltose, lactose, and sucrose?
Maltose = glucose + glucose
Lactose = glucose + galactose
Sucrose = Glucose + fructose
Decribe Fisher projection vs Haworth
Fisher linear
Haworth- closed shape usually hexagon
What functional group is used to classify carbs
Carbonyl C=O
What is the difference between D-glucose and L-glucose
D- OH on 5th C is to the right
L- OH on the 5th C is to the left
How many sugar units in oligosaccharides, polysaccharides?
Oligo- 3-10 sugar units
Poly- more than 10 monosaccharides
D-glucose and L-glucose are what in relation to each other
Isomers
Name 4 examples of polysaccharides
Starch, glycogen, cellulose, chitin
Define and name a few examples of types of glycoproteins
Oligosaccharides bonded to membrane proteins
Antibodies
Hormones
Coagulation factors
What is needed for a carb to be a reducing substance
The sugar must have a free ketone or aldehyde group
Most ingested carbs are __
Polymers
____ breaks the polymers down into dextrins and disaccharides
amylase
Where to monosaccharides go after they are digested and absorbed
The liver
___ is the only carb that is used or stored directly
Glucose
What is the primary source of energy in humans
glucose
What is the general reaction for the 1st metabolic pathway
What are the end products
Embden- Meyerhof Pathway
Aerobic- 32 mols of ATP from 1 mol glucose – glucose to pyruvic acid
Anaerobic- 2 mols of ATP from 1 mol of glucose – glucose to lactic acid

What are the end products
Hexose Monophosphate shunt- G6p to 6 phosphogluconic acid, enzyme G6p dehydrogenase
NADPH and ribose 5 phosphate
What is the general reaction for the 3rd metabolic pathway
What are the end products
Glycogenesis
G6P –> glycogen

Hexose monophosphate- ribose 5 phosphate is used in nucleotide synthesis
What is the storage form of glucose?
Glycogen
