Polysaccharides and Glycosidic Linkages Quiz

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance = Technique used to study the structure of biomolecules Lipids = Organic compounds that are insoluble in water Nucleic Acids = Biological macromolecules essential for genetic information storage Protein Structure Levels = Hierarchical levels of protein organization

Carbohydrates = Consist of sugars and polymers of sugar Proteins = Composed of amino acids and perform diverse functions in the body Lipids = Contain hydrophobic tails and play roles in energy storage and cell membrane structure Nucleic Acids = Made up of nucleotides and involved in genetic information transmission

Catabolism = Process of breaking down complex molecules into simpler components Anabolism = Process of building complex molecules from simpler components Metabolism = Overall chemical processes occurring within a living organism Glycosidic linkage = Bond formed between two monosaccharides in a disaccharide

<p>Monosaccharides = Contain single sugars and can have 3-C, 5-C, or 6-C chains or rings Disaccharides = Formed by joining two monosaccharides through dehydration reaction Polymers = Broken down into monomers by hydrolysis reaction Isomers = Molecules with same molecular formulas but different structures</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Structural Isomer = Isomers with differences in carbon skeleton structure Stereoisomer = Isomers with differences in location of functional groups Enantiomers = Mirror images of each other, like amino acids Geometric Isomer = Isomers with differences in spatial arrangement around double bonds</p> Signup and view all the answers
