Carbohydrates - Coggle Diagram
Carbohydrates
has 4 different types of saccharides
monosaccharides
the simplest carbohydrates
is the building blocks for larger carbohydrates
are sweet-tasting and soluble - is a sugar
general formula: (CH2O)n
common pentose: ribose, common hexose: fructose
disaccharides
formed by glycosidic bonds
two monosaccharides joined together through condensation reaction
forms water as one oxygen and two hydrogens and are removed from monosaccharides
are sweet-tasting and soluble - are sugars
different types of disaccharides
maltose
glucose+glucose
found in germinating seeds for energy
sucrose
glucose+fructose
transported in phloem to provide sugars
lactose
glucose+galactose
found in mammalian milk
polysaccharides
are made up of more than 10 monosaccharides
formed by joining many monosaccharides through condensation reaction
is an energy storage
is the main source of energy in respiration
excess energy is stored in cells
are very compact, insoluble, and are easily broken down
not sweet-tasting or soluble - are not sugars
are a source and storage for energy
only contains carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
structural role in particular cells
