Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides
The simplest form of carbohydrate
monomer building blocks of complex carbohydrates
monosaccharides join together to form a disaccharide
Disaccharides
two monosaccharides joined together in a condensation reaction
Different combinations of monosaccharides determine which disaccharides are formed
One example is phloem, which is used to provide sugars to different parts of a plant
a-glucose can be combined with other monosaccharides to form different Dissaccharides such as lactose, fructose, and sucrose
two monosaccharides are combined and formed into a disaccharide through a condesation reaction
condesation is created when 2 Hydrogen atoms and 1 Oxygen atom form H2O and leave the monosaccharides, leaving the single oxygen atom to bond both the monosaccharides into disaccharides
This is called forming a glycosidic bond
Polysaccharides
Formed by bonding multiple monosaccharides through several condesation reactions
True polysaccharides have more than 10 monosaccharides joined together
In order to split a polysaccharide into monosaccharides a hydrolysis reaction is needed.
The type of polysaccharide can be changed by changing
The way it's bonded
The type of monosaccharide
