Chapter 6 Section 4 Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins & Nucleic Acids
2
Carbohydrates Composed of: In the following Ratio: Carbon Hydrogen
Oxygen In the following Ratio: 1 carbon, 2 Hydrogen, 1 Oxygen (CH2O)n Example – C6H12O6
3
Carbohydrates Values of n ranging from 3 to 7 are called: (CH2O)n
Monosaccharides or simple sugars Examples: Glucose Fructose Galactose
4
Carbohydrates Two monosaccharide's joined together form: Disaccharide
Example Sucrose Lactose Maltose
5
Carbohydrates Longer carbohydrate molecules are called:
Polysaccharides Examples: Glycogen Starch Cellulose
6
Carbohydrate Primary function An energy source for organisms
Short term energy storage Glycogen found in skeletal muscles and liver Structural support In plants cellulose helps to support the cell wall Cellulose is chains of glucose linked together Chitin in lobster, shrimp, crab & some insects Have a nitrogen based polysaccharide
