- Carbohydrates
- 3 functions
- Energy Source
- e.g. Glucose releases energy through respiration
- Storage
- e.g. Starch in plants
- e.g. Glycogen in animals
- Structure
- e.g. cellulose cell wall in plants
- Gives structural support and tensile strength
- Monosaccharide's and disaccharides
- Monosaccharide's
- Sweet
- Soluble in water
- Crystalline
- Glucose
- alpha glucose
- the OH group is below the plane of the molecule
- Beta Glucose
- The oH group on Carbon 1 is above the plane of the molecule
- Hydrolysis Breaks bonds by adding a water molecule
- Condensation forms bond by eliminating water molecule
