AS Questions - MC Macromolecules
Guiding Questions • 1. How does alpha glucose differ from beta glucose? • 2. How does glucose differ from galactose? • 3. How does alpha galactosediffer from beta galactose? • 4. How does fructose differ from glucose? • 5. How does fructose differ from ribose?
Alpha & Beta Glucose • Alpha Glucose = on 1’-Carbon, OH is BELOW the ring with the CH2OH on the 5’-Carbon ABOVE the ring. • Stereoisomer, so cis or trans? • Beta Glucose = on 1’-Carbon, OH is ABOVEthe ring with the CH2OH on the 5’-Carbon ABOVE the ring. • More or less stable than alpha? Why?
Monosaccharides • How does Glucose differ from the other monosaccharides?
Are there alpha, beta Galactoses? • Are these galactoses? How do you know? • Which one(s) are alpha-galactose? How do you know? • Which one(s) are beta-galactose? How do you know?
Fructose v. Ribose Fructose / Ribose has how many carbons? How many carbons in the ring?
Identify which stereoisomer • Alpha or Beta glucose, galactose or fructose?
Glycosidic Linkages • Alpha 1-4 • Straight chain • Alpha 1-6 • Branching
Sexy Polysaccharides Starch is composed of 2 forms: Amylose (unbranched)25% of starch Amylopectin (branched)75% of starch
Cellulose • Only one with BETA glycosidic linkages • ONLY Beta 1-4 • No 1-6 • No branching, no helix just a straight line • Hydrogen bonding?
