Carbohydrates provide fuel and building material Ch. 5.2
Sugars Used as an energy source Carbohydrate_ – ______________ _______________________________________ C:_____, H:_____, O:_____ (___________) Formed from ______________ (_____________)
Monosaccharides ______________ sugar unit Examples: glucose, fructose, galactose “______________________” Broken down to make ______________________ ___________________ Adkins diet?? Glucose molecules that are not used immediately by cells are _________________________________
Structure of Glucose (monosaccharide)
Disaccharides DISACCHARIDE ‘____________________;’ formed from ______________________ _______________________ reaction occurs (____________________). Most common is _________________ _______________ is made up of ____________ and _______________ _______________, _______________ (therefore maple syrup has sucrose)
Structure of Sucrose (disaccharide) Notice that the disaccharide is made up from 2 monosaccharides: glucose AND fructose
Polysaccharides _________________________________________ are called POLYSACCHARIDES Known as ___________________ carbohydrates Three Types: STARCH: ____________________/energy found only in _________________ (potatos, rice, corn), not ____________ (_______________) GLYCOGEN ___________________ in __________________ of _______________ CELLULOSE _____________________ in ____________; made from sugars We call cellulose _____________’ (we can’t digest it) Passes through digestive system unchanged Helps keep digestive system healthy but not as a nutrient
Overall: Carbohydrates are _______________ = H 2 O loving Monosaccharides and disaccharides dissolve in ______ Cellulose and some forms of starch don’t dissolve in water but are still hydrophilic Ex.: T-shirts and jeans Mostly _____________ This is why towels absorb so much water ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________
Concept Check Explain the difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide. Give an example of each. Compare and contrast starch, glycogen, and cellulose. How do animals store excess glucose molecules?
