Concept Card Mapping Carbohydrates-Minnellys Lopez

Carbohydrates play critical roles in biological systems, serving as structural components and energy sources. Monosaccharides, such as glucose, form the building blocks of larger carbohydrate molecules.

Monomers

Monosaccharides Structure

Amylose

Chitin

Starch

Cellulose

Maltotriose

Sucrose

Lactose

Maltose

Glucose

A six-membered ring Two different forms with different properties 1) α glucose: Hydroxyl is down and CH 2OH opposite side 2) β glucose: Hydroxyl is up and CH 2OH same side

Galactose

Fructose

Types

Polysaccharides

More than 20 monosaccharides

Oligosaccharides

Less than 20 monosaccharides

Disaccharides

di- = “two” sacchar
Linking Monosaccharides Process: Condensation- H2O released Covalent bond known as a glycosidic linkage Reversing process: Hydrolysis-add water

Monosaccharides

mono- = “one”; sacchar- = “sugar”
