Document Summary
Bch210 midterm 2 answers: e, d, a, b, b, d, a, e, d, a, c, e, a, b, c, c but error in structure, so also accepted e, b, a, c, d, e, d, b, c, e. Metabolism topic of the rest of the course. Roles: energy source, storage of chemical energy, source of carbon in synthesis of other molecules, structural elements in cells and tissues, components of nucleotides, glycoproteins, glycolipids (ch2o)n general formula. C double bond o: at end of molecule, aldehyde. Carbohydrates are chiral molecules: four diff substituents, ketone will have one less chiral centre , 3 carbon aldehyde 1 chiral centre, 3 carbon ketone no chiral centres. Stereoisomer molecule with same bonds but ordered differently. Anything with one or more chiral centres but different connections. D form is primary form for carbohydrates. Know the ones in the notes glucose, mannoses, galactose!!!!!: six is hexaldose. stereoisomers is number of chiral centres 2^(n-2)
