Polymers & MonomersPolymers & Monomers
Each macromolecule is made of smaller organic molecules , known as monomers.
Similar monomers that are covalently bonded together create polymers.
The monomer unit of carbohydrates = monosaccharides.
The polymers of carbohydrates = polysaccharides
Elements that make up carbs Elements that make up carbs
- Carbon-Hydrogen- Oxygen
Simplest sugars & double sugars Simplest sugars & double sugars
- Monosaccharides are the simplest of sugars
- Disaccharides are double sugars
Structure & function of monosaccharidesStructure & function of monosaccharides
-the simplest form of sugar-named glucose when it is in the blood- the end results of carbohydrates breaking down- the body’s preferred source of energy
Joining & function of disaccharidesJoining & function of disaccharides
-can be stored as fat or used to power its cells.
-the carbohydrate forms when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional group
-Sucrose, Lactulose, Lactose, Maltose, Trehalose, and Cellobiose
-can be changed back into important monosaccharides for the body to use
Functions of polysaccharides Functions of polysaccharides
-A carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together-structural functions such the cell wall of plant cells and energy storage-Starch: storage for plants; glucose momomer simplest form of amylose; unbranched, amylopoch-Glycogen: stored in muscle cells, Hydrolysis releases it when sugar is needed-Cellulose: structural, plants produce 100 billion most abundant organic compounds on earth-Chitin: carbohydrate used by arthropods exoskeletons, (shrimp, lobster),
