Monosaccharides
This is the basic building block of carbohydrates
What is Monosaccharides?
This disaccharide is made of glucose and fructose.
What is sucrose?
This polysaccharide is used by plants to store energy.
What is starch?
This carbohydrate provides quick energy to the body.
What is sugars (simple carbs)?
This carbohydrate is commonly used as table sugar.
What is sucrose?
This monosaccharide is the primary energy source for cells.
What is glucose?
This disaccharide is found in milk and is made of glucose and galactose.
What is lactose?
This is the main structural polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants.
What is cellulose?
This is the function of glycogen in animals.
What is energy storage?
This carbohydrate is used to make beer and other fermented products.
What is glucose (fermentation)?
Glucose and galactose are examples of this type of monosaccharide.
What is hexoses?
This type of bond links the two monosaccharides in a disaccharide
What is Glycogen?
This polysaccharide is stored in animal muscles and liver.
What is glycogen?
This polysaccharide provides structural support to plant cells.
What is cellulose?
This carbohydrate is used in candy and is made from the sap of trees.
What is maple syrup (Sucrose)?
This monosaccharide is found in the structure of RNA.
What is ribose?
This is the name of the disaccharide that is formed by two glucose molecules.
What is maltose?
Cellulose is made of repeating units of this monosaccharide.
What is glucose?
These structures allow carbohydrates to help in cell recognition and signalling.
What are Glycoproteins and glycolipids in membranes?
This type of sugar is the primary sugar in honey.
What is fructose?
This is the chemical formula for glucose.
What is C6H12O6?
This is the process called when a disaccharide is broken down into its monosaccharides.
What is hydrolysis?
This polysaccharide is used in the exoskeletons of arthropods.
What is chitin?
This is the role carbohydrates play in the immune system.
What is immune recognition and response?
This is the term for the carbohydrate group attached to proteins and lipids in cell membranes.
What is glycans?
