Types
Monosaccharides
mono- = “one”; sacchar- = “sugar”
Disaccharides
di- = “two” sacchar
Linking Monosaccharides Process: Condensation- H2O released Covalent bond known as a glycosidic linkage Reversing process: Hydrolysis-add water
Oligosaccharides
Less than 20 monosaccharides
Polysaccharides
More than 20 monosaccharides
Fructose
Galactose
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
Maltose
Lactose
Sucrose
Maltotriose
Cellulose
Starch
Chitin
Amylose
