Carb concept map

glucose

Glucose can be used to make cellulose which is then used to build the cell wall of plant cells.

cell walls provide strength and protection

Deoxyribose

Deoxyribose is a key building block of DNA.

An important sugar

energy source

Lactose

digestion

lactose digestion is optimal

when we eat something containing lactose, an enzyme called lactase breaks it down into glucose and galactose

Energy source particularly important for babies. Is found in milk which is contains amino acids

Often found in milk and made up of glucose and galactose

glycogen

Glycogen gets broken down to release glucose which is used as energy fuel

sucrose

The body breaks down sucrose and starch which get converted to glucose to provide energy

Glucose provides energy as there is energy stored in the chemical bonds of molecules of glucose.

Dextran

It is a complex branched glucan. It can treat medical conditions.

energy storage

starch is a storage form of energy in plants and contains amylose and amylopectin

Amylose is important in plant energy storage and the enzyme α-amylase breaks down the starch molecule

Once you digest glucose cellular respiration occurs and releases the stored energy and converts it so we can use it
