Chapter 5 5.2 Pg. 69-74 Objective: I can identify and classify several different types of carbohydrates based on their molecular structures.
2
Functions (3) Supplies energy (energy storage) Structural framework of cells Chemical messengers (flags on cell’s surface) Atoms: C, H, O (in a ratio – 1:2:1) Not perfect, but close ratio… Simple sugars: monomers Complex carbohydrates: polymers C 6 H 12 O 6 C 12 H 22 O 11 C 30 H 50 O 6
3
Monomer = monosaccharide Dimer = disaccharide Polymer = polysaccharide
4
Glucose – C 6 H 12 O 6 main sugar! Fructose – C 6 H 12 O 6 (different structure) Galactose – C 6 H 12 O 6 (different structure) Isomers: same formula, different structure Glucose = most readily used carbs by cell to provide energy (energy stored in C-H bonds) Same formula but different structure, which means…
5
All mnscchds. are multiple of CH 2 O Holds 1 carbonyl group Holds several hydroxyl groups
6
Most sugars end in -ose Aldoses = Aldehyde ▪Carbonyl at edge Ketoses = Ketones ▪Carbonyl in middle
7
Carbon chain length affects category name Triose Pentose Hexose
8
Glucose and Fructose are structural isomers ▪Glucose = aldose …where is carbonyl…? ▪Fructose = ketose Glucose and Galactose are geometric isomers Flip OH and H at 4 th C Each have enantiomers Several asymmetric carbons
9
While can draw as a linear carbon skeleton, monosaccharides (incl. glucose) form ring structures in aqueous solutions isomer? Abbrev. drawing Isomer …what type? Structural
10
When form ring, hydroxyl group made can be above or below plane of ring Below plane = α-Glucose Above plane = β-Glucose Geometric Isomers (what type?) Isomers?
11
Fructose is structural isomer to glucose Galactose is geometric isomer to glucose L-glucose and D-glucose are enantiomers Complete mirror images (for all asym. C) Linear glucose and ring glucose are structural isomers (ring forms in aqusoln) α-glucose and β-glucose are geometric isomers (due to how ring forms)
12
Polymerize (link up/build) = dehydration synthesis Break apart = hydrolysis + H 2 O Covalent Bond that forms is called glycosidic link(age)
13
Form so less easily metabolized (short storage) Sucrose (table sugar) – C 12 H 22 O 11 Glucose + Fructose Lactose (milk sugar) – C 12 H 22 O 11 Glucose + Galactose Maltose (malt sugar) – C 12 H 22 O 11 Glucose + Glucose Isomers?
15
Typically, made of thousands of monosaccharides Some form to store energy (for longer) – insoluble due to immense size Some end up as structures or parts to build or protect the cell
16
Starch – made only of glucose Energy storage for plants Forms helical chain: amylose Glycogen – made only of glucose Energy storage for animals More helical branches Both can be hydrolized to provide glucose (ENERGY)
17
If chain of carbons made rigid (so less easily hydrolyzed), then can form structure Cellulose – made only of β-glucose Major component of tough cell wall Plants have chewy, woody parts Starch – made only of α-glucose
18
This is why cellulose is undigested in humans
19
Chitin – made only of glucose with nitrogen “arm” Forms exoskeleton for many arthropods ▪Hardens with calcium carbonate Leathery texture alone (Fungi use instead of cellulose)
20
Be able to distinguish between categories (descriptions) and actual name (identity) Starch is a type of Storage polysaccharide (Complex) Carbohydrate Starch is a polysaccharide made out of Glucose (a monosaccharide)
21
Glucose is a type of Monosaccharide Hexose sugar (6 carbons) Aldose sugar (carbonyl at edge) Simple sugar Carbohydrate Glucose has a BUNCH of isomers…
22
Carbohydrates are a type of Macromolecule (1 of 4) All macromolecules are polymers made up of monomers, each with own name, depending on macromolecule
