Dehydration SynthesisMaking a larger molecule by taking out water. |
Monosaccharide (glucose ==> C6H12O6)*There is a carbon atom at each corner that is not shown
Simple sugar, one molecule of sugar. It can be used right away or stored. To store it, it has to be connected to other molecules using dehydration synthesis. Dehydration Synthesis in CarbohydratesCells use dehydration synthesis to link two glucose molecules together into maltose. Maltose is a disaccharide which can be stored. PolysaccharidesSugars are usually stored as polysaccharides (many sugars) which is a sugar with more than two monosaccharides. Also called starch ReviewGlucose | Monosaccharide | Readily avalible | Can be immediately turned to ATP | Glycogen | Polysaccharide/starch | Short-term use/storage | Takes a bit to turn to ATP | Fat | Lipid | Long-term use/storage | Takes a long time to turn to ATP |
| | HydrolysisSplitting a larger molecule by adding water. |
CarbohydratesSugars used to make/short-term store energy. |
DisaccharideA sugar with 2 monosaccharides |
Hydrolysis in CarbohydratesHydrolysis of a fructose molecule.
Hydrolysis is used to/when:
-break down food in the digestive system
-body needs quick/fast energy (simple sugars)
Body can run out of energy but still have fat because fat takes a long time to break into simple sugars. VocabularyOrganic Macromolecules | A molecule that has many elements, one of which is carbon. Ex: Proteins, carbohydrates, lipids | Simple Molecule | Ex: Water | Cellulose | A carbohydrate plants use in cell walls to provide support | Fiber | No calories; humans can't digest; helps you shit | Fructose | A monosaccharide | Maltose | A disaccharide consisting of two glucose molecule linked together that can be stored | Sucrose | A dissacharide consisting of a glucose molecule and a fructose molecule | Starch | Another name for polysaccharides | Glycogen | A polysaccharide consisting of many glucose molecules linked together (sometimes hundreds). Extra sugar is stored as glycogen in the liver of the body as a short-term energy storage |
