26
In a disaccharide, the monosaccharides are linked via a _ _
condensation reaction
27
In a disaccharide, the monosaccharides are linked via a condensation reaction producing an ether (C−O−C) group called
glycosidic bond
28
are long chains of monosaccharide units
Polysaccharides
29
alternate name of complex carbohydrates
Polysaccharides
30
are composed of one type of monosaccharide
homopolysaccharides
31
multiple types
heteropolysaccharides with multiple types
32
3 types of Polysaccharides
Cellulose Chitin Starch
33
Found in the cell wall of plants
Cellulose
34
Found in the exoskeletons of arthropods
Chitin
35
Energy storage in plants
Starch
36
main function of carbohydrates
store and provide energy
37
Carbohydrates are broken down into smaller glucose units, which can be easily absorbed by the cells.
38
When glucose is further broken down, the energy is released from the chemical bonds. The energy is then used or stored by the body.
39
Some carbohydrates also serve as the framework of cellular structures.
40
These carbohydrates serve as a brace or a support structure for the shape and form of the organism or any associated structures to remain intact.
41
One very important carbohydrate that is used for structural purposes is _
42
a polysaccharide that forms the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell walls of fungal cells
chitin
43
_ chains make up the microfibrils, which in turn are organized into fibrils that make up the cell wall of plant cells
Cellulose
44
Carbohydrates also form other types of molecules once bonded to specific groups.
45
are proteins bonded to carbohydrates
glycoproteins
46
These are very important molecules that serve many functions, like their use as markers or factors that influence viral growth.
