Study Notes
Carbohydrate Structure
- Carbohydrates are made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
- Carbohydrates are classified based on the number of sugar units: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Monosaccharides
- Monosaccharides are classified based on the number of carbon atoms: trioses (3 carbon atoms), tetroses (4 carbon atoms), pentoses (5 carbon atoms), hexoses (6 carbon atoms), and heptoses (7 carbon atoms).
- Monosaccharides are divided based on the presence of aldehyde or ketone group: aldoses (aldehyde group) and ketoses (ketone group).
- Aldose-ketose isomers differ in their functional groups: aldehyde and ketone.
Disaccharides
- Sucrose is a type of disaccharide that has both anomeric carbons involved in the linkage.
- Sucrose is formed of fructose and glucose.
Polysaccharides
- Polysaccharides are classified based on the number of sugar units: oligosaccharides (3-10 sugar units) and polysaccharides (more than 10 sugar units).
- Starch is the chief storage form of carbohydrates in plants.
- Glycogen is the storage form of carbohydrates in animals, mainly present in skeletal muscles and liver.
Importance of Carbohydrates
- Cellulose is important in the diet for its fiber content, providing bulk to stools and preventing constipation.
- Chitin is a heteropolysaccharide that is sulfate-free.
Isomers
- Functional group isomers differ in their functional groups.
