BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES
One of the first topics you will study in A Level Biology is this chemistry of life.
You will learn about the chemical structure of these molecules, how they bond together and how these structures link to the job they do in living things.

CARBOHYDRATES
In this virtual lesson, we will begin to look at the structure of carbohydrates. It might feel a little bit like a chemistry lesson because it’s BIOCHEMISTRY!
This will hopefully give you a taster of what to expect from A Level Biology in September. We hope you enjoy ‘getting your teeth into’ something a bit more challenging!

CARBOHYDRATES• Carbohydrates are made up of Carbon (C),
Hydrogen (H) and Oxygen (O)
• There are usually twice as many Hydrogen as
there are Carbon and Oxygen with a ratio of
1C:2H:1O
• E.g. C6H12O6 or C5H10O5
![Page 11: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
CARBOHYDRATES• Carbohydrate monomers are called
monosaccharides
• Two monosaccharides can join together to form
a disaccharide
• Monosaccharides and disaccharides are both
sugars
![Page 12: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
CARBOHYDRATES• Many monomers join together to make a polymer
• A polymer of monosaccharides is called a
polysaccharide
• Polysaccharides can be used for storage (e.g. starch
or glycogen) or can be structural (e.g. cellulose)

INTRODUCING ALPHA GLUCOSE
• Have a look at the molecule and try to memorise it’s structure. Watch the video again, if you like!
• Learn the full version including the numbered carbon molecules
• In September you will be learning the chemical structure of all of the biological molecules!
![Page 15: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
INTRODUCING ALPHA GLUCOSE
• On a scrap piece of paper, try to draw alpha (α)
glucose from memory.
• Then, look at the next slide to critique what you have
done.

INTRODUCING ALPHA GLUCOSE
• Repeat your drawings of alpha (α) glucose a couple of
times to really solidify it in your memory
…check back at the diagram after each attempt!
Extension:
• Can you do the ‘full’ and simpler versions of alpha (α)
glucose?
• Can you do the ‘full’ and simpler versions of beta (β)
glucose?
![Page 18: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
MONOSACCHARIDES• There are three common monosaccharides: glucose,
galactose and fructose.
• Their structures are slightly different but they are all
monomers (single units) which can be building blocks
for larger carbohydrates.
![Page 19: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
DISACCHARIDES
glucose + glucose → maltose
glucose + fructose → sucrose
galactose + glucose → lactose
Two monosaccharides are joined together to form a disaccharide.
This happens via a condensation reaction which also releases water.
There are 3 common disaccharides:
![Page 20: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
DISACCHARIDESThe bond which is formed is called a glycosidic bond
![Page 21: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DISACCHARIDESTwo monosaccharides are joined together by a glycosidic bond… how does this happen?

DISACCHARIDE FORMATION
• On a scrap piece of paper, try to draw the formation
of maltose from memory
• Remember there are 2 stages:
1. Showing the 2 molecules of α glucose side by side
and illustrating where water is formed
2. Showing the resulting disaccharide which is formed

FORMATION OF SUCROSE
• One glucose and one fructose molecule join together in a condensation reaction to form sucrose
• Can you predict what the structure of sucrose would be?
Sucrose
![Page 25: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
CONDENSATION & HYDROLYSIS REACTIONS• Condensation reactions occur when a
molecule of water is lost.
• Two monosaccharides join in a
condensation reaction to form a
disaccharide.
• A glycosidic bond forms between the two
molecules.
• The opposite of this would be a hydrolysis
reaction involving the addition of water
and the splitting of the two molecules.
• Can you think of when (in biology) the
hydrolysis of a carbohydrate might take
place? …during digestion!
![Page 26: A LEVEL BIOLOGY VIRTUAL INDUCTION](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050119/626d4e8d4e533827e8369a06/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
CAN YOU REMEMBER…1. …the biological molecules common to living things (there are 5)?
2. …the general name for a carbohydrate monomer?
3. …an example of a carbohydrate monomer? (there are 3)
4. …how to draw α glucose from memory?
5. …what type of bond is formed when a disaccharide is produced?
6. … an example of a disaccharide? (there are 3)
7. …how to draw the formation of maltose?
8. … the difference between a condensation and hydrolysis reaction?
Extension:
Glucose (C6H12O6) combines with fructose (C6H12O6) to form the disaccharide sucrose. From your knowledge of how disaccharides form, work out the formula of sucrose.
