Study Notes
Carbohydrate Classifications
- Carbohydrates are classified into four groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides
- However, complex carbohydrate is not a classification of carbohydrates
Glucose
- The chemical formula for glucose is C6H12O6
- Glucose has 4 chiral carbons
Stereoisomers
- Whether a chiral compound is an L or D stereoisomer is determined by the arrangement of atoms around its chiral center
Monosaccharides
- Glucose and fructose have similar atomic arrangements, but galactose has a unique atomic arrangement
- Monosaccharides exist as ring structures
- The functional group present in monosaccharides is a hydroxyl group (-OH)
Disaccharides
- Disaccharides are formed by the condensation reaction of two monosaccharides
- Maltose is a disaccharide that contains an alpha-1,4 glycosidic bond
- Lactose is a disaccharide found in milk
Oligosaccharides and Polysaccharides
- Fructan is an oligosaccharide found in onions
- Starch is a polysaccharide that serves as the storage form of energy in plants
- Cellulase is an enzyme that is resistant to the digestion of non-starch polysaccharides
Glycemic Response and Storage
- Carbohydrates can be classified based on their glycemic response
- Glycogen is primarily stored in the liver and muscles
Examples of Carbohydrates
- Glucose is a monosaccharide
- Cellulose is a polysaccharide
- Sucrose is a disaccharide
- Fiber is a complex carbohydrate
