Carbohydrates

• Carbohydrates are molecules that are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms in a 1:2:1 ratio, and provide nutrients to the cells of living things.

• sugars, starches, and cellulose

• Carbohydrates are produced by plants through a process called photosynthesis.

• Carbohydrates provide nearly all of the energy that is available in most plant-derived food.

Carbohydrates, continuedMonosaccharides

• A monosaccharide is a simple sugar that is the basic subunit of a carbohydrate.

• A single monosaccharide molecule contains three to seven carbon atoms.

• Monosaccharide compounds are

• typically sweet-tasting

• white solids at room temperature

• water soluble

• SUGARS IN STRUCTURES

• An important structural polysaccharide is cellulose. Cellulose is found in plants. It is one of those carbohydrates used to support or protect an organism. Cellulose is in wood and the cell walls of plants.

• The most common monosaccharides are glucose (also called dextrose) and fructose.

• Both have the formula C6(H2O)6.

• Their structural formulas differ.

Page 22: carbohydrates The simplest carbohydrates are the simple sugars, or monosaccharides, which commonly have five or six carbon atoms. Monosaccharides Biochemistry:

• Disaccharides (formed from 2 monosaccharides joined by a glycoside linkage)

sucrose (glucose + fructose)

• Polysaccharides (many monosaccharide units)

starch, cellulose

Carbohydrates, continuedDisaccharides

• A disaccharide is a sugar that consists of two monosaccharide units that are joined together.

• sucrose, C12H22O11

• A molecule of sucrose forms when a glucose molecule bonds to a fructose molecule.

• lactose • Lactose is made up of a sugar called galactose and

glucose.

Carbohydrates, continuedPolysaccharides

• When many monosaccharides or disaccharides combine in a series of condensation reactions, they form a polysaccharide.

• A polysaccharide is a carbohydrate made up of long chains of simple sugars.

• Cellulose, starch, and glycogen are polymers of glucose.

• Sheets of cellulose make up plant cell walls.• Starch is the storage form of glucose in plants.

Carbohydrates, continuedCarbohydrate Reactions

• Carbohydrates undergo two important kinds of reactions: condensation reactions and hydrolysis reactions.

Section 1 Carbohydrates and LipidsChapter 23

• A condensation reaction is a reaction in which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine.

• Hydrolysis is a chemical reaction between water and another substance to form two or more new substances.

• Disaccharides and longer-chain polysaccharides can be broken down into smaller sugar units by hydrolysis.

• Polysaccharides are also used in the shells of such crustaceans as crabs and lobsters (chitin). It is similar in some ways to the structure of cellulose but has a far different use. The shells are solid, protective structures that need to be molted (left behind) when the crustacean needs to grow. It is very inflexible. On the other hand, it is very resistant to damage. While a plant may burn, it takes very high temperatures to hurt the shell of a crab.
