1
CARBOHYDRATES
2
Carbohydrates: Carbon, Hydrogen, Oxygen CHO
3
Carbohydrates Small sugar molecules to large starch molecules.
Used for Energy Some provide structure
4
Carbohydrates Monosaccharide: one sugar unit
Examples: glucose (C6H12O6) is blood sugar deoxyribose in DNA fructose is fruit sugar galactose is milk sugar glucose
5
Different Forms of Glucose
6
Disaccharide: two sugar unit
Examples: Maltose (glucose+glucose) in malt Sucrose (glucose+fructose) is sugar Lactose (glucose+galactose) in milk glucose
7
Polysaccharide: many sugar units
Examples: starch (rice, potatoes, cereal) glycogen (starch in the liver) cellulose (lettuce, wood, fiber) glucose cellulose
8
Starch Consists of glucose subunits Plant energy storage molecule
Starch can be digested by animals.
9
Cellulose Composed of glucose subunits
Different bond formed than starch Structural component in plants Cannot be digested by animals
10
Chitin Glucose subunits Composes exoskeletons of insects and fungi
Contains Nitrogen.
11
Glycogen: Humans and other mammals make a special form of carbohydrate in their liver.
12
Glycogen can be broken down into glucose for cellular energy.
13
Three Monosaccharides
C6H12O6
14
Dehydration Synthesis
Sugars bond together to make disaccharides and polysaccharides. Water is removed.
15
How Disaccharides form:
16
Water is added to split sugars apart.
Hydrolysis: Water is added to split sugars apart.
