Carbohydrates By the end of the lesson you should be able to: 1.Understand the difference between monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides 2.Draw the structure of glucose 3.Explain how carbohydrates are digested.
Monosaccharide (single sugar Disaccharide (double sugar) Polysaccharide (many sugars joined together)
Monosaccharides – Single Sugars Glucose Fructose Galactose
α glucose
Use the molymods to make the monosaccharide glucose
α glucose
α glucose – a simplified version
What you need to learn for your exam:
Disaccharides Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose Glucose + Galactose = Lactose Glucose + Glucose = Maltose
Monomer (single sugars) Polymer (starch, glycogen or cellulose) Hydrolysis reaction (digestion) Condensation reaction (assimilation) Chemical bond
Making a maltose molecule One molecule of water removed α glucose
Making a maltose molecule α glucose
Making a maltose molecule New chemical bond formed GLYCOSIDIC BOND
How would you break down maltose to glucose?
Many α glucose molecules can go through condensation reactions to make starch α glucose Glycosidic bond Hydrogen bond
Many α glucose molecules can go through condensation reactions to make starch
Use the molymods to make maltose from your glucose models …and then starch
Where are carbohydrates digested?
ENZYMES Salivary Amylase - Mouth Pancreatic Amylase - Duodenum ENZYMES Maltase in the epithelium of the small intestine
Monosaccharides are the basic molecular units (monomers) of which carbohydrates are composed. The structure of α-glucose as The linking of α-glucose by glycosidic bonds formed by condensation to form maltose and starch. Sucrose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of glucose and fructose. Lactose is a disaccharide formed by condensation of glucose and galactose. Starch is a polysaccharide, and the role of salivary and pancreatic amylases and of maltase located in the intestinal epithelium Specification says…
