Resource summary
Carbohydrates
Made of monomers called monosaccharides
Eg : Glucose, Galactose, Fructose
C6H12O6
Two monosaccharides can be joined together to make disaccharides
Eg : maltose, lactose, sucrose
Alpha glucose +Alpha glucose= Maltose (enzyme used maltase)
Glucose + Galactose= Lactose (enzyme used lactase)
Glucose +fructose=Sucrose (enzyme used sucrase)
A bond between two monosaccharides are called glycosidic bond
Many monosaccharides are joined together to make polysaccharides
Eg : starch, glycogen, cellulose
reaction that splits and joins monosaccharides are called hydrolysis and condensation respectively
Condensation joins glucose by producing water to join the carbon and oxygen at the opposite ends
Glycosidic bond is created
Hydrolysis is splitting polymers by addding water to seperate bonds
Glycosidic bond is broken
