1. Which molecule is removed during a condensation reaction

   a water molecule

2. fructose

3. What is the difference between alpha and beta glucose?

   OH and H on C1 switched

4. alpha glucose

5. glucose

6. Galactose

7. beta glucose

8. What is a disaccharide?

   2 monosaccharides joined with glycosidic bonds

9. Bonds between monosaccharides?

   Glycosidic

10. Reaction where glycosidic bonds formed

    condensation reaction

11. Which carbon is joining the glycosidic bonds?

    1-4

12. Sucrose

    glucose + fructose

13. Lactose

    glucose + galacatose

14. Maltose

    glucose + glucose

15. Structure of cellulose

    - beta glucose polymer - long unbranched chains - subunits orientated ultimately upwards and downwards - straight chain - linked together by hydrogen bonds

16. Structure of starch

    - plant storage molecule - made up of amylose and amylopectin - made of alpha glucose - insoluble

17. Structure of amylose

    - unbranched - coiled - compact

18. Structure of amylopectin

    - branched - more easily broken down by enzymes - faster release of glucose - 1-6 bonds form side branches

19. Structure of glycogen

    - storage molecule and animals - similar structure to amylopectin - more branches than amylopectin - compact -does not affect osmosis

20. The generic formula for carbohydrates
