A chemistry term for saccharide or sugar?
A. Lipids
B. Carbohydrates
C. Proteins
B. Carbohydrate
The most abundant class of bioorganic molecules on Earth
Carbohydrates
Green plants produces carbohydrates via
Photosynthesis
6CO2 + 12HO2 —–> C6H12O6 + 6H2O
Photosynthesis
Two uses of Carbohydrates by plant
Cellulose & Starch
Carbohydrates as a structural components
A. Amylopectin
B. Cellulose
C. Chitin
B. Cellulose
Energy storage polysaccharides in plants?
A. Chitin
B. Amylose
C. Starch
C. Starch
Where is the starch stored in cell?
Vacuole
The following are the function of carbohydrates in human, except:
A. Provide a short-term energy storage
B. Linked to proteins function in a variety of cell-cell and cell-molecule recognition process
C. Serves as metabolic regulators of hormones
C. Serves as metabolic regulators of hormones
This determines the handedness of the molecule in the presence of carbon atoms
Chirality
This are the images that coincide at all points when images are laid to each other
Superimposable Mirror Image (Achiral)
This are the images where not at all points coincide when images are laid to each other
Superimposable Mirror Image (Chiral)
An atom molecule that has four different group tetrahedrally bonded to it
Chiral Center
Molecule whose mirror image are superimposable
Achiral Molecule
Molecule whose mirror image are not superimposable
Chiral Molecule
Substance that rotates the polarized light to the left
Levorotatory ( L / - )
Substance that rotates the polarized light to the right
Dextrorotatory ( D / + )
Molecules which rotate the plane of polarized light are
Optically Active
Isomers that have the same molecular and structural formation but differ in the orientation of atom in space
Stereoisomers
Stereoisomers whose molecules are nonsuperimposable. Left & Right handedness
Enantiomers
Stereoisomers whose molecules are not mirror images of each-other
Diastereomers
A two dimensional structural notation for showing the spatial arrangement of groups about chiral molecules. Named after Emil Fischers
Fischer Projection Formula
A two-dimensional structural notation that specifies the three-dimensional structure of cyclic form of monosaccharide.
Haworth Projection Formula
A monosaccharide that contains an aldehyde functional group.
Aldose
