Document Summary
Know how to draw/replicate glucose, but not any other sugar. Ch2oh is at the bottom of glucose. Hydroxyl that forms covalent bond w/ carbon. Carbon 1 from the first guy and carbon 4 from the second guy (but it doesn"t have to be carbon 4, depends of which carbon group is in action) H20 is taken out of condensation reaction when x number of glucose molecules are linked, so those molecules must be taken into consideration when calculating how many of each atom are in the molecule. 9 - 10 molecules, 9 bonds between them. 51 - 60 - 9 (9 bonds) (because of condensation reactions) Polysaccharides (big sugars) are polymers of monosaccharides. No template - made my enzymes and sugars are linked together. Starch in dense storage granules in plastids. Glycogen in granules in liver cell (also in muscle cells) Mixture amylase (alpha 1-4) and amylopectic (alpha 1-6) Provides enzymes with lots of ends to remove glucose monomers from.
