Monosaccharides
There are the most complex form of a carbohydrate
False, they are the simplest form of a caarbohydrate
Why is glucose soluble in water?
Enlist the most important polysaccharides for plants and animals repectively
Starch and Glycogen
These are protein that contain 1 or more aminoácidos and at least one lipid
False, they are proteins attached to 1 or more monosaccharides
Cannot be broken down by hydrolisis
True
Why is glucose easily transported in the blood?
Because it's H-Bonds
The most abundant starch in potato is
Amylose
Explain the function of glycoproteins as cell-cell recognition
Markers on the surface of the cell. Immune system can recognize these patterns and identify if they are from bacteria or viruses
Mention 3 hexoses (6C)
Glucose, Galactose, Fructose
What is the final product of the total oxidation of glucose?
CO2 and H2O
Because of its long molecular ize
What is the function of a protein when is known as a receptor
Receive signals from the outside and start a signaling pathway
the alfa and beta isomers of glucose differ on the position of the OH group of C3
False it's C1
In biological systems oxidation produces ATP through a process called
Respiration
Glycogen is storage in liver, explain its function
Maintain glucose levels in the organism
Explain the concept of a ligand
A chemical messenger that binds to a specific receptor and starts a signaling pathway
alfa glucose form cellulose
False, cellulose if formed by b glucose
Glucose in water is found as a cyclic or linera molecule?
Linear
Cellulose provides rigid and sturdy structure to plants, explain why molecularly
Because it's made of beta glucose in an alternate orientation
