A. Functions • Used by cells to store and releaseenergy • Simple Sugars = quick release energy • Monosaccharides and disaccharides • Starch = Longterm energy storage • Found in plants • Glycogen = Longterm energy storage • Found in animals • Stored in liver
Functions (cont.) • Used to make cell structures • Cellulose • Structural component in plants • Chitin • Structural component in animals
B. What are they made of? • Made of… (Hint: look at the name) • Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen in a 1:2:1 ratio • General Formula (CH2O)n • n = number of carbons
C. Types of Carbohydrates • Monosaccharides = monomer units • Means 1sugar or simple sugar • Ring Shaped molecules • Provide quick energy for cells
Examples • Glucose • Most common • Plants make glucose during photosynthesis • Structure: ringshaped (see image) • Formula: C6H12O6
Types of Carbohydrates (cont.) • Disaccharides • 2 monosaccharides linked together by Dehydrationsynthesis
Macromolecule Formation Process = Dehydration Synthesis Removal of OH + H forms water, H2O Leaves bonding sites that join monomer units. Monomer Monomer OH H H2O Polymer
Examples • Sucrose • Glucose and fructose • Found in regular table sugar • Lactose • Glucose and galactose • Found in dairy products
Types of Carbohydrates (cont.) • Polysaccharides = Polymers • Can be made of 100 to 1000’s of monosaccharides • Many monosaccharides linked together by DehydrationSynthesis
Examples • Starch – storage polysaccharide • Made entirely of glucose • Found in potato, rice, wheat • Other Examples • Glycogen • Cellulose • Chitin
