Biochemical Molecules
Lipids
Proteins
Water
Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides
Examples
3C - Triose
4C - Tetrose
5C - Pentose
6C - Hexose
They are an Isomer - Can have same chemical formula but different structural formula
Source of energy
Lots of C-H bonds
Sweet tasting
soluble
Chains or cyclic
Polysaccharides
Examples
Maltose = glucose + glucose
Lactose = glucose + galactose
Sucrose = glucose + fructose
Polymers of Monosaccharides
Homopolysaccharides
Made up of different monosaccharides
Heteropolysaccharides
Are polymers made up of different types of monosaccharides
Used fo storage
Starch (Plants)
Amylose
Alpha glucose
1-4 Glycosidic bonds
Unbranched
Coils
Compact
Amylase breaks down amylose
Amylopectin
Alpha glucose
1-4 Glycosidic bonds
1-6 Glycosidic bonds
Amylase and glucosidase breaks down amylocpectin
Coils
Glycogen (Animals)
Cellulose
-H and -OH
Means "hydrated carbon", for every one carbon, there is an equivalent water molecule present :
DNA - Nucleotides
