1 Carbohydrates Mini Lecture AP Biology/Radjewski

2 PDQ 1-2 Carbohydrates Source of stored energy (spaghetti dinners) Transport stored energy within complex organisms (food  glucose  travels through bloodstream) Structural molecules that give many organisms their shapes (chitin forms exosksletons) Recognition or signaling molecules that can trigger specific biological responses (control gene expression in plants)

3 Monosaccharides PDQ 3-4 simple sugars Pentoses are 5-carbon sugars Hexoses (C 6 H 12 O 6 ) include glucose, fructose, mannose, and galactose.

4

5 Mono  Di PDQ 5 Monosaccharides are covalently bonded by condensation reactions that form glycosidic linkages. Sucrose is a disaccharide.

6 Common Disaccharides

7 Polysaccharides PDQ 6 large polymers of monosaccharides; the chains can be branching. Starches—a family of polysaccharides of glucose; main energy storage molecule in plants Glycogen—highly branched polymer of glucose; main energy storage molecule in mammals Cellulose—the most abundant carbon-containing (organic) biological compound on Earth; stable; good structural material Chitin - the component in exoskeletons, contains nitrogen

8 PDQ 7Cellulose

9 PDQ 7Starch

10 PDQ 7Glycogen

11 Build a carbohydrate Build a polysaccharide Attach waters Label the glycosidic linkages
