Types of Carbohydrates
Monosaccharides – do not hydrolyze into smaller units.
Disaccharides – consist of two mono units joined together – these will hydrolyze (break apart).
Polysaccharides – consist of many mono units and are sometimes called “complex carbohydrates.”
![Page 3: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Monosaccharides
Have between three and eight C atoms. Number of C’s determines whether it is a triose
(3), tetrose (4), pentose (5), hexose (6), etc. All have at least two –OH groups and the term
polyhydroxy- is sometimes used. Will have either an aldehyde or ketone group. Aldehyde = aldose and ketone = ketose. Molecules are written with the C backbone in a
vertical direction.

Monosaccharides and Chirality
Most monosaccharides have several chiral C’s. If the lowest chiral C has the OH group on the
left, then it is called the L isomer. If it is on the right, then it is called the D isomer.
Hint: C’s with double to the O are not chiral and the -CH2OH groups are also not chiral.

Some Important MonoSaccharides Glucose, aka dextrose – the most important one. D-glucose (p. 486) is oxidized in the body to produce
energy. L-glucose (p. 488) cannot be oxidized. D-galactose (p. 489) is an aldohexose and is obtained as
from disaccharides and is a close cousin of glucose. D-fructose (p. 489) is a ketohexose and is twice as sweet
as sucrose. This is found in fruit juices and honey.
![Page 11: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Cyclic Structures
The structures of the mono units are easy to show using the vertical, open chain system.
However, they actually exist as five and six-membered rings.
See also p. 492-3
![Page 12: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Oxidation of Monosaccharides
All aldoses like glucose and galactose can be easily oxidized to yield carboxylic acids.
These are often referred to as “reducing sugars.” Benedict’s reagent (Cu+2) is used to test for
glucose in the urine. The extent of a color change indicates how much glucose is present in the urine.
![Page 13: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Disaccharides
Composed of two mono units. Some common ones are:
Sucrose (Cane sugar) = Glucose + Fructose Lactose (Milk sugar) = glucose + galactose Maltose (Malt sugar) = glucose + glucose
In the presence of water and an acid catalyst, these linked molecules will split apart back into their mono units.
![Page 14: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Sweetness Scale
All sugars and sugar substitutes vary in sweetness.
Sucrose is assigned a sweetness of 100.
Some artificial sweeteners have a caloric value, but because they are many, many times sweeter than regular sugar they are used in much smaller quantities.
![Page 15: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Polysaccharides
This is essentially a polymer of glucose units (usually). Plant Starch, like that found in potatoes and rice, exists
in two forms: Amylose and Amylopectin. Amylose is a long,continuous chain of glucose molecules.
Typically has 250 – 4000 units. Amylopectin is a branched chain of glucose molecules.
Branches are about every 25 units. See p. 487.
Animal Starch is also called ___________. This is essentially a branched chain as well. Branches are about every 10 – 15 units.
![Page 16: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Polysaccharides
____________, found in cell walls of plants and animals, is also a long chain of glucose units much like amylose.
The linkage between each unit is different and is resistant to hydrolysis.
Human’s do not possess the enzymes to break this material down for energy as some animals do.
We often refer to this material in our diet as “fiber.”
![Page 18: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Ch. 15 Lipids Lipids are a family of compounds that are __________
in water (ie. Non-polar). Classes of Lipids:
Waxes = fatty acid and long chain alcohol (ester) Fats & Oils = glycerol + three fatty acids Phospholipids = glycerol + 2 fatty acids + phosphate + an
amino alcohol Sphingolipids = fatty acid + sphingosine + phosphate + an
amino alcohol Glycolipids = fatty acid + glycerol or sphingosine + one
monosaccharide. Steroids = a fused ring structure of three cyclohexanes and one
cyclopentane.
![Page 19: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Fatty Acids
Long chain carboxylic acids. 12 – 18 Carbon’s are the most common. Stearic acid is most often found in animal fat.
CH3CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2CH2COOH

Fatty Acids
Can be saturated – all C-C single bonds. Can be mono-unsaturated – one C-C double bond.
Ex) Oleic Acid found in olives and corn. CH3(CH2)7CH=CH(CH2)7COOH
Can be poly-unsaturated – more than one C-C double bond. Ex) Linoleic Acid found in soybeans and sunflowers. CH3(CH2)4CH=CHCH2CH=CH(CH2)4COOH
In the Unsaturated acids, the cis isomer is usually found. Common ones shown on p. 499.
![Page 21: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Physical Properties
The repeating zig-zag shape of saturated fatty acids allows them to fit close together leading to strong attractions. As a result, these are solids at room temperature.
The unsaturated fatty acids do not stack together because of the double bonds. As a result, these are liquids at room temperature.

Fats and Oils
Fats and oils are the most common lipids. Often called triglycerides because they are a tri-
ester of glycerol and three fatty acids. Tristearin consists of three stearic acid molecules
reacting with glycerol. A Fat is a triglyceride that is ______ at room
temeprature. Source = animals. An Oil is a triglyceride that is usually a ______
at room temperature. Source = plants.
![Page 26: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Making a Fat
In Tri-Stearin, the “R” groups would be –(CH2)16CH3 Three water molecules are also produced.
![Page 27: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Reactions of Fats and Oils
Unsaturated oils can be converted into saturated ones by Hydrogenation. This reaction was shown for the alkenes.
Oxidation of Oils occurs with exposure to O2. This occurs more easily at the C-C double bonds. Thus, vegetable oils must have anti-oxidants added to retard this process.

Other Lipids
Phospholipids are found in the structure of cell membranes. They regulate what passes into and out of cells.
Sphingolipids are found in the brain and nerve tissues. They increase the speed of the nerve impulses as well
as form a protective coating over the nerves. Glycolipids are also abundant in the brain and
nerve cells.

Steroids and Cholesterol
Steroids are any compounds containing the steroid nucleus.
Cholesterol is the most important and abundant steroid in the body.

The Importance of Cholesterol
All hormones have as their base structure the steroid nucleus (pictured earlier).
Thus, the sex hormones and the adrenocortical hormones depend on cholesterol for their synthesis.
See molecules on p. 538 and you will see the cholesterol structure contained in these molecules.

Ch. 16 Amino Acids and Proteins
The human body produces over _________ different proteins.
These are grouped together by their function. Some of these are (Table 16.1): Structural – provide structural components. Examples are
Collagen found in tendons and cartilage and Keratin found in the hair and skin.
Contractile – provides for the movement of muscles. Myosin and Actin contract the muscle fibers.
Transport – carries essential substances through the body. Hemoglobin transports oxygen to the cells.
![Page 34: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Storage – provides for storage of nutrients. Casein stores protein in milk and Ferritin stores iron in the spleen and liver.
Hormone – helps regulate body metabolism. Insulin regulates blood sugar levels.
Enzyme – catalyze biochemical reactions. Sucrase catalyzes the hydrolysis of sucrose.
Protection – recognition and destruction of foreign substances. Immunoglobulins stimulate the immune response.

The Peptide Bond
Amino acids link together by the reaction of a carboxylic acid on one with the amine of another.
This is a condensation reaction similar to that of the polyamides.
The linkage between the two is called a peptide bond.

Primary Structure
Chains of 3 – 50 amino acids are called polypeptides. When more than 50 amino acids are joined, we usually
call it a protein. For a polypeptide of only 5 amino acids, the number of
combinations possible is staggering (sort of like playing the Lottery!).
The specific sequence of amino acids in a protein is called the primary structure and is determined by our ____ code.
Our ___ codes for only a limited number of specific sequences for making proteins.
![Page 42: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Secondary Structure
Secondary Structure refers to how the amino acids next to or near each other are arranged in space. Hydrogen bonding (HB) forces within three or four nearby amino acids are the most common type of interaction.
The three most common types of secondary structures (p.542-3) are: Alpha Helix - which is a corkscrew shape of the chain that
results from HB between every fourth amino acid. All of the R groups then are pointed outward.
Beta-Pleated Sheet – rows of amino acids are held flat with HB keeping them rigid.
Triple Helix – is three peptide chains woven together like a braid. HB is also a powerful force that holds this together.
![Page 43: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Alpha Helix Structure
Two models of the alpha helix:

Tertiary Structure
Tertiary Structure is the overall 3D shape of the protein. This also involves Hydrogen Bonding as well as cross-linking across much greater distances.
Thus, you may get a hydrogen bond or cross-link between one amino acid on the peptide and another one that is hundreds of amino acids away.
![Page 45: Chapter 14: Carbohydrates](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062222/56815d83550346895dcb91c1/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)

Tertiary Structure
Two types of tertiary structures: Globular proteins, like hemoglobin and insulin,
have a very compact and round shape. The non-polar R groups point inward and the polar R groups point outward and this makes these proteins soluble in water.
Fibrous proteins, like keratin (hair, skin), consist of long, thin, fibrous shapes.

Albumin
A protein made in the liver.
It is found in large concentrations in blood serum.
The pink portions are alpha-helix and the yellow portions are beta-pleated sheet sections.

Quaternary Structure
Some proteins consist of two or more sub-units (tertiary structures).
The overall protein structure is then referred to a quaternary structure.
Hemoglobin consists of four heme units – each unit being able to transport one O2 molecule.
