Polymer Vs. Monomer
• Polymer: A large molecule made up of identical or similar building blocks– Ex. Polysaccaride
• Starches
• Monomer: the building block that is used to make polymers– Glucose

Carbohydrates• Carbohydrates are composed of C, H, O• Most names for sugars end in –ose• CH2O (Empirical Formula)
(CH2O) C6H12O6
• Contains a Carbonyl (C=O) & many Hydroxyl (OH)• Function: Energy & Storage • ex: sugars, starches, cellulose, chitin
C6H12O6(CH2O)x

Biological function of monosaccharides
• ENERGY!!!!
• Key parts of other molecules (e.g. nucleic acids, ATP)
• Monomers for Disaccharides & Polysaccharides.
• They form polymers in dehydration reactions.
![Page 8: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Classifying Monosaccharides
• Monosaccharides are uniquely identified based on:– The location of the carbonyl carbon in the straight chain
form
– The number of carbons present
– The spatial arrangement of carbons
![Page 9: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

Identifying monosaccharides
• The arrangement of the –OH group on the #1 carbon does not matter when naming sugars.
• The location of the other groups on the 2,3,4, and 5 carbons does matter.

Polysaccharides • Polymers of sugars
– costs little energy to build• Function:
– energy storage • starch (plants)• glycogen (animals)
–in liver & muscles– structure
• cellulose (plants)• chitin (arthropods & fungi)
![Page 21: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Polysaccharides
• Polymers of sugars joined by glycosidic linkages.
• Serve two main functions– Storage- glycosidic linkages are hydrolyzed to obtain
monosaccharides as energy is needed.
– Structural- make up the materials that are used to protect the organism.
![Page 22: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Glycosidic Bonds
• Chemical linkage between the monosaccharide units of disaccharides, and polysaccharides, which is formed by the removal of a molecule of water – Condensation reaction
• Bond forms between the carbon-1 on one sugar and the carbon-4 on the other.
![Page 23: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Α & β Glycosidic Bonds• An α-glycosidic bond- formed when the –OH group on
carbon-1 is below the plane of the glucose ring • A β-glycosidic bond is formed when it is above the plane.
– Ex. Cellulose- formed of glucose molecules linked by 1-4 β-glycosidic bonds (Above plane)
– Ex. Starch- composed of 1-4 α-glycosidic bonds (Below plane )

Structural Polysaccharides
• Key in forming the structure of an organism.
• Most common structural polysaccharide is cellulose.– Makes up cell walls in plants– Used to make paper
• Chitin
• Polymer of glucose • Forms via 1-4 glycosidic linkage.
![Page 26: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Cellulose • Most abundant organic
compound on Earth– herbivores have evolved a mechanism to digest
cellulose– most carnivores have not
• cellulose = undigestible roughage
But it tasteslike hay!Who can liveon this stuff?!

Cowcan digest cellulose well; no need to eat other sugars
Gorillacan’t digest cellulose well; must add another sugar source, like fruit to diet

Helpful bacteria• How can herbivores digest cellulose so well?
– BACTERIA live in their digestive systems & help digest cellulose-rich (grass) meals

Plant Storage Polysaccharides
• Starch is the main storage polysaccharide- Found in two forms.– Amylose- main storage polysaccharide found in plants.
– 1-4 glycosidic linkage found in glucose.
– Amylopectin- also in plants. – Like starch with branching. – Branch occurs with a 1-6 glycosidic link.
![Page 31: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Storage Polysaccharide in Animals
• Glycogen is the main storage polysaccharide in animals.
• It is even more highly branched than amylopectin.
• Stored primarily in muscle and liver cells and is used when glucose stores are low.
![Page 32: Chapter 5- The Structure and Function of Macromolecules Carbohydrates](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022033014/568164df550346895dd73e58/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Polysaccharide diversity
• Molecular structure determines function
isomers of glucose structure determines function…

Difference between starch and cellulose• Starch production involves 1-4 glycosidic
linkage of a-glucose monomers.– Helical shape
• Cellulose production involves 1-4 glycosidic linkage of b-glucose monomers– Never branched , straight
• a- Glycogen • b- Cellulose • Does this matter?

Chitin
• Chitin is the structural polysaccharide in arthropods – Ex. insects, spiders, crustaceans, and fungi.
• Similar to cellulose, but it has a slightly different monomer that is a derivative of glucose

YES, It matters!• Cellulose has a much different structure than starch.
• In storage polysaccharides, the polymer hydrogen bonds mainly with itself to form helices (spirals)– Ex. Glycogen
• In structural polysaccharides, the polymer hydrogen bonds with other polymer strands to form a strands that form thread like structures– Ex. Chitin & Cellulose

IT REALLY MATTERS
• Animals lack the enzymes (cellular machinery) to break down cellulose.
• Only a few bacteria and fungi can break down cellulose.
