long chains of sugar molecules
what type of monomer is in carbohydrates
monasaccharides
what are carbohydrates composed of?
carbon, hydrogen, oxgyen
what biomolecule makes raw material for photosynthesis?
carbohydrates
type of biomolecule that stores energy
lipids
all food has carbohydrate except what?
water
these are the building blocks of biomolecules
monomers
what are the classifications and naming of sugars based on?
number of carbons or size of carbon skeleton or location of carbonyl group
3c =
triode
5c =
pentose (ribose, ribulose)
6c =
hexose (glucose, galactose, fructose)
if oxygen is at the end it is called –
aldoses
if oxygen is within it is called –
ketoses
plants are more likely to be ketose. t or f
t
this biomolecule provides energy
carbohydrates
these are also known as simple sugar.
monosaccharides
monomers ; most common common contains how many carbon rings
6 or 5 membered carbon rings
these serve as raw materials in monomers
carbon skeleton
what are examples of isomers
glucose and galactose
any molecule that mirrors each other
isomer
it has mild sweet flavor
glucose
it is present in all the sugar
glucose
also known as blood sugar
glucose
