Pregunta Respuesta
What is a Monomer? Examples? Small, basic molecular units E.g. Monosaccharides, Amino acids and Nucleotides
What are Polymers? Examples? Large, complex molecules composed of long chains of monomers joined together E.g. Carbohydrates, Lipids, Proteins and Nucleic acids
Structure of Alpha and Beta Glucose -Hexose Sugar (C6H12O6) ISOMERS - same molecular formula, different arrangement of atoms
Examples of Monosaccharides E.g. Glucose, Fructose, Galactose
A Condensation Reaction is... a chemical reaction in which two molecules join together with a formation of a new chemical bond and a water molecule is released
A Hydrolysis Reaction is... a chemical reaction in which a chemical bond is broken between two molecules using a water molecule
Condensation & Hydrolysis Reaction in Maltose
What is a Disaccharide? Examples? Two monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic bond Maltose = Glucose + Glucose Sucrose = Glucose + Fructose Lactose = Glucose + Galactose
Descibe the Benedict's test for Reducing Sugars 1) Add Benedict's reagent to sample 2) Heat in water bath (100°C) 3) Forms coloured precipitate if test is positive -Higher the concentration, the further the colour change
Describe the Benedict's test for Non-Reducing Sugars 1) Add dilute hydrochloric acid to new sample and heat in water bath (100°C) 2) Neutralise using sodium hydrogencarbonate 3) Carry out Benedicts test POSITIVE = Contain non-reducing sugar NEGATIVE = No sugars present
What is a polysaccharide? Examples? 2+ Monosaccharides joined by a Condensation Reaction E.g. Starch, Glycogen and Cellulose
What is Starch? A polysaccharide found in many plants -Important component of food -Main energy storage material
