Carbohydrates Starches and Sugars Monosaccharides • • • • • • Monosaccharide – Single sugar unit 5 – 6 carbons and 1 oxygen Ring shape Glucose most common Building block to larger carbohydrates C6H12O6 Biosynthesis – Dehydration Synthesis • Chemical reactions used to form larger molecules out of multiple smaller ones • Ex. 2 monosaccharides joined to form a disaccharide (2 sugars long) Glucose + Fructose Glucose + Galactose Sucrose Lactose Dehydration Synthesis Polysaccharides • Multiple sugar units long • Starch 100’s even 1000’s of glucoses long • Cellulose – most abundant biomolecule on earth…. Great source of fiber/roughage • Glycogen – stored energy in animals in liver and muscles • About 3 days supply of energy
