Carbohydrates
polysaccharides (polymers)
glycogen
found in muscles and liver - store of energy in animals
starch
store of energy in plants
cellulose
used in plants for structure
chitin
used in fungi for structure
monosaccharide (monomers) (examples - all C6H12O6)
glucose
used for atp
galactose
used for energy in atp
fructose
in fruit
disacharrides (dimers) (examples - all C24H11O22)
maltose
glucose + glucose
used to break down starch
sucrose
glucose + fructose
sugar in plant
lactose
glucose + galactose
used in energy
Properties
mosaccharides
sweet in taste
soluble
simple
polysaccharides
large and insuluble
compact
easily hydrolysed - converted back into monosaccharides - for enegy
disaccharides
sweet
soluble
condensation reaction
Functions
monosaccharides / disaccharides
as a building block for the synthesis of other biological molecules
deoxyribose
ribose
Energy store
