Covalent Bonding involves the sharing of electrons
This may involve equal sharing or unequal sharing

Carbon atoms can form 4 covalent bonds
![Page 4: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
All chemical bonds possess energy which can be released when the bonds are broken

Carbohydrates
• While often drawn as a linear skeleton, in solution carbohydrates often form hexagonal shaped ring molecules
![Page 7: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
This can be further abbreviated for your note taking as a simple hexagon

Macromolecules
• Macro = large• Molecules = 2 or more atoms covalently bonded• Usually referred to as polymers - chain like• Made from several repeating subunits
– The repeated subunits are called monomers– Like links in a chain
![Page 9: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Monomers & Polymers
A monomer is a molecule that is able to bond in long chains.Polymer means many monomers. Polymers are also known as macromolecules or large-sized molecules.
Here is a monomer:
Here is a polymer:
This linking up of monomers is called polymerization.

Saccharides = sugars
Monosaccharides = single/simple sugars
Disaccharides = double sugar
Polysaccharide = many/complex sugars

Making or Breaking Polymers
• The chemical mechanisms that cells use to make and break polymers are similar for all classes of macromolecules.
dehydration synthesis
![Page 12: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Making Polymers• Monomers are connected by
covalent bonds via a condensation reaction or dehydration reaction.– One monomer provides
a hydroxyl group and the other provides a hydrogen and together these form water.
– This process requires energy and is aided by enzymes.
![Page 13: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Breaking Down Polymers
• The covalent bonds connecting monomers in a polymer are disassembled by hydrolysis.– In hydrolysis as the covalent
bond is broken a hydrogen atom and hydroxyl group from a split water molecule attaches where the covalent bond used to be.
– Hydrolysis reactions dominate the digestive process, guided by specific enzymes.

Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides: generally have molecular formulas containing C : H : O in a 1:2:1 ratio.
fructose C6H12O6.
glucose C6H12O6.
nb: most names for sugars end in -ose.

Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides are also classified by the number of carbons in the backbone.
![Page 17: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Monosaccharides, particularly glucose, are a major fuel for cellular work.• They are also building blocks for of other monomers, including those of
amino acids (protein) and fatty acids (lipids).
• While often drawn as a linear skeleton, in aqueous solutions monosaccharides form rings.

Sucrose C12H22O11.
![Page 20: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Examples of Disaccharides
Maltose
Formed from 2 glucose molecules, formed in germinating seeds from the breakdown of starch, providing energy
Sucrose
Formed from 1 glucose and 1 fructose molecule and is the form in which carbohydrates are transported in the phloem in plants
Lactose
Formed from 1 glucose and 1 galactose molecule, it is an energy source found in the milk of nearly all mammals

Polysaccharides of sugars have storage and structural roles
• Polysaccharides are polymers of hundreds to thousands of monosaccharides joined together
• One function of polysaccharides is energy storage – it is hydrolyzed as needed.
• Other polysaccharides serve as building materials for the cell or whole organism.
![Page 22: 2.1 Carbohydrates Sandringham college pete hamilton](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062804/56649e7a5503460f94b7aeed/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Starch:• is a storage polysaccharide composed entirely of glucose monomers -
Long chain of glucose molecules 200-500 units
• Used as an energy store in plants.
• Not soluble.
• Forms solid grains inside plant cells (often inside chloroplasts).
• The chains coil up into a basic spiral shape making the molecules compact.
• Hydrogen bonds hold the polysaccharide chain in the compact spiral shape.

Glycogen
• The storage polysaccharide in animals (equivalent to starch in plants).
• Found in liver and muscle cells where a store of energy is needed.
• Many fungi also store glycogen.
• Similar in structure to starch - but more branched.
• Forms tiny granules inside cells which are usually associated with smooth endoplasmic reticulum.
• Each glycogen molecule contains a upto 30,000 glucose units

Cellulose
• Most abundant organic molecule.
• 300-10,000 + glucose units
• It is very slow to decompose.
• 20-40% of the plant cell wall.
• Hydrogen bonding between monosaccharide molecules in the chain gives strength.
• Hydrogen bonding between cellulose molecules cause bundles called microfibrils to develop. These are held together in fibres.
• A cell wall will have several layers of fibres running in different directions - gives great strength almost equal to steel.
• Provides support in plants and stops plant cells bursting.
• Freely permeable to water and solutes.
