Productivity Tip: Before you start, give your brain and body a boost of energy by doing stretching and push ups (or any light cardio exercise you can do in your home), breathe deeply, and shout your inspirational message to start your learning journey (e.g., “Laban!”, “Kaya ko to!”, “Fighting!” etc.) Don’t forget to hydrate yourself occasionally. During the time you are studying, don’t forget to write the important key concepts or words to maximize your learning. And lastly, don’t forget to rest very well after every study session. A. LESSON PREVIEW/REVIEW 1) Introduction (3 min) Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of bioorganic molecules on planet Earth. Although their abundance in the human body is relatively low, carbohydrates constitute about 75% by mass of dry plant materials. Green (chlorophyll-containing) plants produce carbohydrates via photosynthesis. In this process, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil are the reactants, and sunlight absorbed by chlorophyll is the energy source.

In the form of cellulose, carbohydrates serve as structural elements, and in the form of starch, they provide energy reserves for the plants. Dietary intake of plant materials is the major carbohydrate source for humans and animals. The average human diet should ideally be about two-thirds carbohydrate by mass. Carbohydrates have the following functions in humans: In this module you will learn how carbohydrates are formed through structural arrangement, the classification and the uses of the different sugars or carbohydrates. This entails you to review basic organic chemistry (refer to the table of functional group).

However, through the delicate principles involves from chirality-the handedness in molecules to Haworth projection formulas, details as to how sugars look and linked together can be understood in simple yet challenging ways. MIRROR IMAGES First, an important property of many molecules, including most carbohydrates, is “handedness,” which is a form of isomerism. Molecules that possess “handedness” exist in two forms: a “left- handed” form and a “right-handed” form. These two forms are related to each other in the same way that a pair of hands is related to each other. The relationship is that of mirror images. A left hand and a right hand are mirror images of each other. Objects can be divided into two classes based on their mirror images: objects with superimposable mirror images and objects with nonsuperimposable mirror images. Superimposable mirror images (Achiral) are images that coincide at all points when the images are laid upon each other. Nonsuperimposable mirror images (Chiral) are images where not all points coincide when the images are laid upon each other.

What determines whether a molecule possesses handedness is the presence of a carbon atom that has four different groups bonded to it in a tetrahedral orientation. The tetrahedral orientation requirement is met only if the bonds to the four different groups are all single bonds. The handedness- generating carbon atom is called a chiral center. A chiral center is an atom in a molecule that has four different groups bonded to it in a tetrahedral orientation. A molecule that contains a chiral center is said to be chiral. A chiral molecule is a molecule whose mirror images are not superimposable. Chiral molecules have handedness. An achiral molecule is a molecule whose mirror images are superimposable. Achiral molecules do not possess handedness. REQUIREMENTS TO HAVE A “CHIRAL” MOLECULE 1. The tetrahedral orientation requirement is met only if the bonds from the center atom to the four different groups are all single bonds. 2. A chiral center is an atom in a molecule that has four different groups bonded to it in a tetrahedral orientation. In this part, carbon is seen as the Chiral center 3. A chiral molecule is a molecule whose mirror images are not superimposable. 4. Chiral molecules have handedness.

Sometimes both forms are biologically active, each form giving a different response; sometimes both elicit the same response, but one form’s response is many times greater than that of the other; and sometimes only one of the two forms is biochemically active. For example, studies show that the body’s response to the right- handed form of the hormone epinephrine is 20 times greater than its response to the left-handed form. Monosaccharides, the simplest type of carbohydrate and the building block for more complex types of carbohydrates, are almost always “right-handed.” Plants, the main dietary source of carbohydrates, produce only right-handed monosaccharides. Interestingly, the building blocks for proteins, amino acids, are always left-handed molecules. STEREOISOMERISM: ENANTIOMERS and DIASTEREOMERS The left- and right-handed forms of a chiral molecule are isomers. They are not constitutional isomers, but rather are stereoisomers. Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same molecular and structural formulas but differ in the orientation of atoms in space. By contrast, atoms are connected to each other in different ways in constitutional isomers. Stereoisomers can be subdivided into two types: enantiomers and diastereomers. Enantiomers (Enantios- means opposite) are stereoisomers whose molecules are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other. Left- and right-handed forms of a molecule with a single chiral center are enantiomers. Diastereomers are stereoisomers whose molecules are not mirror images of each other. Cis–trans isomers (of both the alkene and the cycloalkane types) are diastereomers. Molecules that contain more than one chiral center can also exist in diastereomeric as well as enantiomeric forms.

An optically active compound is a compound that rotates the plane of polarized light. A dextrorotatory compound is a chiral compound that rotates the plane of polarized light in a clockwise direction (means to the right, the Latin dextro means “right). A levorotatory compound is a chiral compound that rotates the plane of polarized light in a counterclockwise (to the left, the Latin Levo means “left”) direction. The D,L system used to designate the handedness of enantiomers is extended to monosaccharides with more than one chiral center in the following manner. The carbon chain is numbered starting at the carbonyl group end of the molecule, and the highest-numbered chiral center is used to determine D or L configuration. Particularly, the –OH group of the highest chiral carbon determines the configuration. If the –OH is in the right, then it’s a D-isomer and if the –OH is in the left, and then it’s an L-isomer.

STRUCTURES AND CLASSIFICATION OF MONOSACCHARIDE C atoms C Atoms RCHO RCHO RCOR RCOR RCHO RCHO RCOR RCOR Although there is no limit to the number of carbon atoms that can be present in a 3(C3H6O3) triose triulose glyceraldehyde dihydroxyacteone monosaccharide, only monosaccharides with three to seven carbon atoms are 4(C4H8O4) tetrose tetrulose -Erythrose -Erythroluse commonly found in nature. A three-carbon -Threose monosaccharide is called a triose, and 5(C5H10O5) pentose pentulose -Ribose -Ribulose -Arabinose those that contain four, five, and six carbon -Xylose -Xylulose atoms are called tetroses, pentoses, and -Lyxose hexoses, respectively. 6(C6H12O6) hexose hexulose -Allose -Psicose -Altrose -Fructose Monosaccharides are classified as aldoses -Glucose -Sorbose or ketoses on the basis of type of carbonyl -Mannose group present. An aldose is a -Gulose monosaccharide that contains an -Idose aldehyde functional group. Aldoses are -Galactose -Talose polyhydroxy aldehydes. A ketose is a monosaccharide that contains a ketone functional group. Ketoses are polyhydroxy ketones. Monosaccharides are often classified by both their number of carbon atoms and their functional group. A six-carbon monosaccharide with an aldehyde functional group is an aldohexose; a five-carbon monosaccharide with a ketone functional group is a ketopentose. Monosaccharides are also often called sugars. Hexoses are six-carbon sugars, pentoses five-carbon sugars, and so on. The word sugar is associated with “sweetness,” and most (but not all) monosaccharides have a sweet taste. The designation sugar is also applied to disaccharides, many of which also have a sweet taste. Thus sugar is a general designation for either a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. Saccharide from the latin Saccharum means sugar.

But was it exciting that finally you’ve got to learn that this hand exercise has meaning? Yes, they’re structures of sugars. First, I told you to imagine having an additional 6th finger. It is because 6 mean the total number of carbon (Hexoses). Second, numbering your fingers but consider your index as number 1 and not the thumb, because it is in your index finger that the first chiral carbon is present Lastly, familiarize in your head the counting and the position of the exercise. Zero for the first sugar, Allose, it is because it doesn’t have any chiral center. Now, you’ve tried doing it but only with your right hand or the right or D-configuration. However, then again because of its handedness, sugars also have left or L-configuration. Hence, practice this exercise both with your right and left hands and now you can name them.

The best examples are for D-glucose and D-galactose. The only difference between D-glucose and D-galactose is on carbon- 4. For D-glucose, the -OH is on the right in Fischer Projection, and for D-galactose, the -OH group is on the left. That single different makes D-glucose and D-galactose epimers. They are not enantiomers, or diastereomers, or isomers, they are only epimers.

Haworth projection formulas are more useful for those purposes. A Haworth projection formula is a two-dimensional structural notation that specifies the three-dimensional structure of a cyclic form of a monosaccharide. The cyclic forms of monosaccharides result from the ability of their carbonyl group to react intramolecularly with a hydroxyl group. Structurally, the resulting cyclic compounds are cyclic hemiacetals or hemiketals. A cyclic monosaccharide containing a six-atom ring is called a pyranose (only aldohexose is capable), and one containing a five-atom ring is called furanose (aldopentose and ketohexose are capable of forming) because their ring structures resemble the ring structures in the cyclic ethers pyran and furan, respectively. A cyclic monosaccharide containing a six-atom ring is called a pyranose (only aldohexose is capable), and one containing a five-atom ring is called furanose (aldopentose and ketohexose are capable of forming) because their ring structures resemble the ring structures in the cyclic ethers pyran and furan, respectively.

An anomeric carbon atom is the hemiacetal carbon atom present in a cyclic monosaccharide structure. It is the carbon atom that is bonded to an -OH group and to the oxygen atom in the heterocyclic ring. Cyclic monosaccharide Note: This pyran form is only for ALDOHEXOSES formation always produces two stereoisomers— an (bonding C1 & C5) alpha form and a beta form. These two isomers are called anomers. Anomers are cyclic monosaccharides that differ only in the positions of the substituents on the anomeric (hemiacetal) carbon atom. The a-stereoisomer has the -OH group on the opposite side of the ring from the -CH2OH group, and the b-stereoisomer has the -OH group on the same side of the ring as the -CH2OH group.

Remember, however, that other aldoses, as well as ketoses, undergo similar reactions. Oxidation to Produce Acidic Sugars The redox chemistry of monosaccharides is closely linked to that of the alcohol and aldehyde functional groups. ACIDIC SUGARS ALDONIC ACID ALDURONIC ACID ALDARIC ACID Acid group on top acid group on bottom acid groups both on top uses weak oxidizing agent uses enzymes and bottom uses strong oxidizing agent Reduction to Produce Sugar Alcohols The carbonyl group present in a monosaccharide (either an aldose or a ketose) can be reduced to a hydroxyl group, using hydrogen as the reducing agent. For aldoses and ketoses, the product of the reduction is the corresponding polyhydroxy alcohol, which is sometimes called a sugar alcohol. For example, the reduction of D-glucose gives D-glucitol. D-Glucitol aka D-sorbitol have properties similar to those of the trihydroxy alcohol glycerol. These alcohols are used as moisturizing agents in foods and cosmetics because of their affinity for water. D-Sorbitol is also used as a sweetening agent in chewing gum; bacteria that cause tooth decay cannot use polyalcohols as food sources, as they can glucose and many other monosaccharides.

Because the cyclic forms of monosaccharides are hemiacetals, they react with alcohols to form acetals, like the reaction of b-D-glucose with methyl alcohol. The general name for monosaccharide acetals is glycoside. A glycoside is an acetal formed from a cyclic monosaccharide by replacement of the hemiacetal carbon -OH group with an -OR group. It can exist both in alpha and beta form. Phosphate Ester Formation The hydroxyl groups of a monosaccharide can react with inorganic oxyacids to form inorganic esters. Phosphate esters, formed from phosphoric acid and various monosaccharides. For example, specific enzymes in the human body catalyze the esterifi cation of the hemiacetal group (carbon 1) and the primary alcohol group (carbon 6) in glucose to produce the compounds glucose 1-phosphate and glucose 6-phosphate, respectively. These phosphate esters of glucose are stable in aqueous solution and play important roles in the metabolism of carbohydrates. Amino Sugar Formation If one of the hydroxyl groups of a monosaccharide is replaced with an amino group, an amino sugar is produced. In naturally occurring amino sugars, of which there are three common ones, the amino group replaces the carbon 2 hydroxyl group. The three common natural amino sugars are. Amino sugars and their N-acetyl derivatives are important building blocks of polysaccharides found in chitin and hyaluronic acid. The N-acetyl derivatives of D-glucosamine and D-galactosamine are present in the biochemical markers on red blood cells, which distinguish the various blood types.

This same type of reaction can be used to produce a disaccharide, a carbohydrate in which two monosaccharides are bonded together. In disaccharide formation, one of the monosaccharide reactants functions as a hemiacetal, and the other functions as an alcohol. The bond that links the two monosaccharides of a disaccharide (glycoside) together is called a glycosidic linkage. A glycosidic linkage is the bond in a disaccharide resulting from the reaction between the hemiacetal carbon atom -OH group of one monosaccharide and an -OH group on the other monosaccharide. It is always a carbon–oxygen–carbon bond in a disaccharide. It was noted that a cyclic monosaccharide contains a hemiacetal (anomeric) carbon atom. Many disaccharides contain both a hemiacetal carbon atom and an acetal carbon atom, as is the case for the preceding disaccharide structure. Hemiacetal and acetal locations within disaccharides play an important role in the chemistry of these substances.

Polysaccharides are often also called glycans. Glycan is an alternate name for a polysaccharide. Unlike monosaccharides and most disaccharides, polysaccharides are not sweet. They have limited water solubility because of their size. However, the -OH groups present can individually become hydrated by water molecules. The result is usually a thick colloidal suspension of the polysaccharide in water. Polysaccharides, such as flour and cornstarch, are often used as thickening agents in sauces, desserts, and gravy. Parameters to distinguish polysaccharides: 1. The identity of the monosaccharide repeating unit(s) in the polymer chain. a. Homopolysaccharide/glycan - only one type of monosaccharide monomer b. Heteropolysaccharide/glycan - with more than one (usually two) type of monosaccharide monomer 2. The length of the polymer chain. 3. The type of glycosidic linkage between monomer units. 4.

Diabetes - is a chronic (long-lasting) health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. - Most of the food you eat is broken down into sugar (also called glucose) and released into your bloodstream. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin acts like a key to let the blood sugar into your body’s cells for use as energy. - If you have diabetes, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use the insulin it makes as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.

Galactosemia - Also known as: o galactose-1-phosphate uridylyl transferase deficiency o transferase deficiency galactosemia o GALT deficiency - is a rare, hereditary disorder of carbohydrate metabolism that affects the body’s ability to convert galactose to glucose. Galactose is a sugar contained in milk, including human mother’s milk as well as other dairy products. It is also produced by the human body, and this is called endogenous galactose. Glucose is a different type of sugar. - The disorder is caused by a deficiency of Symptoms of a Classic Galactosemia an enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridylyl transferase (GALT) which is vital to this process. Galactosemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive genetic condition. - Classic galactosemia and clinical variant galactosemia can both result in life- threatening health problems unless lactose is removed from the diet shortly after birth. How is galactosemia treated? Treatment requires the strict exclusion of lactose/galactose from the diet. A person with galactosemia will never be able to properly digest foods containing galactose. There is no chemical or drug substitute for the missing enzyme at this time. An infant diagnosed with galactosemia will simply be changed to a formula that does not contain galactose. With care and continuing medical advances, most children with galactosemia can now live normal lives.

Do you have questions in mind that you are interested to be discussed? Please write it down. __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________ FAQs 1. What are the negative effects of carbohydrates? Ans: Refined carbs may increase blood triglycerides, blood sugar levels and cause insulin resistance. All of these are major risk factors for heart disease and type 2 diabetes. 2. How can carbohydrates lead to diabetes? Ans: When a person consumes carbohydrates, the digestive system breaks some of them down into glucose. This glucose enters the blood and raises blood sugar, or glucose, levels. When blood glucose levels rise, beta cells in the pancreas release insulin. Insulin is a hormone that makes our cells absorb blood sugar for energy or storage. As the cells absorb the blood sugar, blood sugar levels start to drop. When blood sugar levels drop below a certain point, alpha cells in the pancreas release glucagon. Glucagon is a hormone that makes the liver release glycogen, a sugar stored in the liver. In short, insulin and glucagon help maintain regular levels of blood glucose in cells, especially the brain cells. Insulin brings excess blood glucose levels down, while glucagon brings levels back up when they are too low.

Over time, the cells need more insulin to react. We call this insulin resistance. After producing high levels of insulin for many years, the beta cells in the pancreas can wear out. Insulin production drops. Eventually it can stop altogether. 3. Should carbohydrates be eaten before exercise? Ans: Ingestion of carbs before exercise is important, mainly for the purpose of topping up energy stores in muscles and the liver, and so fatigue delay and performance can be improved by ensuring these stores are high when first beginning exercise. Eating carbs will therefore be beneficial both during and after exercise, helping you feel the benefits of your sport and exercise. For high endurance sports it is best to maximise glycogen stores in the days leading to an event by carbo-loading the few days prior to an event. 4. What happens when all carbs are used? Ans: Your performance firstly decreases when you skip or use up all your carbs, muscle movements and motivation both become more difficult, which can then affect performance. When carb stores have been used up, the body will then use protein as it’s energy source, which subsequently will affect it’s ability to gain and support muscles. Burning protein as energy can cause further problems as when your body tries to clean out the byproducts of protein, your kidneys have to work harder, causing stress which could result in damaging them. Carbs also help fueling the brain and central nervous system, and when you have run out of carbs, this can affect their functioning and can in serious cases lead to further problems.
