Document Summary

2 monosaccharides can be brought together to form and simple polysaccharide (disaccharide) Done by covalent bonds (general) called a glycosidic linkage (more specific) Can be more precisely ided by naming what cs are bondin. The most precise way to name is to include whether the molecule on the left is alpha (h on top) of beta (h on bottom) Note that the chemical formula of a disaccharide is cnh2(n-1)on-1 due to a loss of water by. Can id structures and cell types on the membrane of the cell (chemical markers) These carbs on the outside of the cell are there only for the body to recognize the type of cell. Glycoproteins on the membrane of red blood cells. Look at table 2. 3 and memorize function groups. Diphosphate means the phosphate are connected covalently. Bisphosphonates just means there are 2 phosphates. Linear because the glucose is fliped 180 d. Polymers are held together by the h bonds with neighbor strands.
