functions
used to make ATP for respiration
used to make larger molecules e.g. starch, glycogen & cellulose
intermediate in reactions e.g. trioses in respiration and photosynthesis
in nucleotides - deoxyribose in DNA and ribose in RNA, ATP & ADP
Uses
Source and energy store
in all organisms
a large amount of energy is stored between C-H bonds
this is released and transferred to ATP during respiration
ATP is the energy currency of the cell
structural material
in plant cell walls
Repeated glucose molecules build up : starch and glycogen
Ribose (5C) forms part RNA
Deoxyribose (5C) forms part DNA
Glucose
αlpha vs beta
2 forms are structural isomers
Disaccharides - 2 monomers
Polysaccharides - lots of monomers
