Biological Molecules: Carbohydrates
Hexose sugar
A monosaccharide, such as glucose, that contains six carbon atoms per molecule.
Pentose sugar
A monosaccharide, such as ribose, that contains five carbon atoms per molecule.
Triose sugar
A monosaccharide that contains three carbon atoms per molecule.
Monosaccharide
Monomer in a carbohydrate.
Disaccharide
Two monosaccharide joined together by a glycosidic bond.
Polysaccharide
Multiple monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic bonds.
Glycosidic bond
Bond that occurs between two monosaccarides.
Starch
A polysaccharide of alpha glucose found in plant comprise of 20% amylose and 80% amylopectin.
Amylose
A coilled polysaccharide of alpha glucose found in plant that has 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
Amylopectin
A branched polysaccharide of alpha glucose found in plant that has 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic bonds.
Glycogen
A branched polysaccharide of alpha glucose found in animals that has 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic bonds.
Cellulose
A branched polysaccharide of beta glucose found in plants that has 1-4 glycosidic bonds.
1-6 glycosidic bond
Bond that occurs between carbon 1 and carbon 6 of two monosaccarides
1-4 glycosidic bond
Bond that occurs between carbon 1 and carbon 4 of two monosaccarides
