Lets Carb Up!!!
Carbohydrates - Composition Made of… (Hint: look at the name) Carbon Hydrogen Oxygen
Simple Carbohydrates Monosaccharides and Disaccharides- used for quick energy Monosaccharides These are the monomer units Means 1 sugar or simple sugar Ring Shaped molecules Ex- glucose, fructose, galactose
Simple Sugars Continued… Disaccharides Predict the molecular formula for a disaccharide. C 12 H 22 O 11 2 monosaccharides linked together Dehydration synthesis
Disaccharides - examples Sucrose- table sugar (Glucose and fructose) Lactose- in milk (Glucose and galactose)
Complex Carbohydrates Polysaccharides Many monosaccharides linked together Dehydration Synthesis Polymers
Functions of Complex Carbohydrates Used by cells to store and release energy Used to make cell structures
Energy Storage Simple Sugars Quick release E Mono and di’s Starch Long term E storage plants Glycogen Long term E storage Animals store in liver
Structural Carbs Cellulose Structural Plant cell walls Chitin Structural animals
