Polymers & MonomersPolymers & Monomers

Each macromolecule is made of smaller organic molecules , known as monomers.

Similar monomers that are covalently bonded together create polymers.

The monomer unit of carbohydrates = monosaccharides.

The polymers of carbohydrates = polysaccharides

Elements that make up carbs Elements that make up carbs

- Carbon-Hydrogen- Oxygen

Simplest sugars & double sugars Simplest sugars & double sugars

- Monosaccharides are the simplest of sugars

- Disaccharides are double sugars

Structure & function of monosaccharidesStructure & function of monosaccharides

-the simplest form of sugar-named glucose when it is in the blood- the end results of carbohydrates breaking down- the body’s preferred source of energy

Joining & function of disaccharidesJoining & function of disaccharides

-can be stored as fat or used to power its cells.

-the carbohydrate forms when two monosaccharides undergo a condensation reaction which involves the elimination of a small molecule, such as water, from the functional group

-Sucrose, Lactulose, Lactose, Maltose, Trehalose, and Cellobiose

-can be changed back into important monosaccharides for the body to use

Functions of polysaccharides Functions of polysaccharides

-A carbohydrate whose molecules consist of a number of sugar molecules bonded together-structural functions such the cell wall of plant cells and energy storage-Starch: storage for plants; glucose momomer simplest form of amylose; unbranched, amylopoch-Glycogen: stored in muscle cells, Hydrolysis releases it when sugar is needed-Cellulose: structural, plants produce 100 billion most abundant organic compounds on earth-Chitin: carbohydrate used by arthropods exoskeletons, (shrimp, lobster),
