BMS-UY 1004 Lecture Notes - Lecture 3: Sudan Iv, Ribose, Monosaccharide
Document Summary
Bms 1004 intro to cell and molecular biology recitation. The versatility of carbon to serve as the backbone for a variety of different molecules is due to the ability of carbon to form both four covalent bonds and with many different types of atoms. Glycogen (polysaccharide)-found in cells of animals, storage of energy. Glucose v mannose-both are isomers, 4 chiral carbons, and aldose. Sucrose (disaccharide) = glucose (monosaccharide) + fructose (monosaccharide) Reducing sugars can be found with benedict"s test. Alpha 1-6 bond = condensation reaction, lose a water molecule to form ether. Saturated-single bonds, no kinks, packs better, higher melting point, solid at room temperature. Unsaturated-double bonds, have kinks, can"t pack as well, lower melting point, liquid at room temperature, usually exist in cis form most of the time. Triglyceride-bonds glycerol with 3 fatty acids and usually store long term energy as fat. Lipid can be indicated with sudan iv test.
