Types of Complex Carbs
A polymer of glucose used for energy storage in animals, primarily found in the liver and muscles.
What is Glycogen?
The monomer to glycogen
What is Alpha D glucose
What is a Glycosidic Bond?
The IMFs within the polymer
What are hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, and dispersion forces?
This type of complex carb helps stool move through the intestines
What are fibers?
Indigestible carbohydrates that promote gut health, are often made of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin in plant-based foods.
What is Fiber?
The monomer to cellulose
The elements involved in bonding.
What is 2 OH? or What is CH2OH and OH?
The polarity of the polymer
What is Polar?
This category of complex carbohydrates includes potatoes, corn, squash, and pumpkins
What are starchy vegetables
A glucose polymer that serves as an energy storage in plants, consisting of amylose and amylopectin.
What is Starch?
The chemical composition of the most basic monomer.
What is (CH2O)n where n>2
What is a linear spiral?
Macromolecules like cellulose and starch are ________ because they contain multiple hydroxyl groups
What is hydrophilic?
This type of complex carb lowers cholesterol levels
What are fibers
A linear polymer of glucose that forms the structural component of the plant cell wall. It is not digestible by humans but is a source of dietary fiber.
What is Cellulose?
The shape of the most basic monomer
What is Trigonal Planar?
The molecule that is released when the bond is formed.
What is H2O
Certain modifications to polysaccharides can make them more _________, (acetylation in chitlin?), reducing solubility in water
What is hydrophobic?
This is the process in which the body uses energy from glucose stored in the liver and muscles
What is glycogenolysis
A polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, it forms the exoskeleton of arthropods and the cell walls of fungi.
What is Chitin?
This is when two different molecules have the same chemical formula but different structures
The process in which glycogen is stored in the body
What is glycogenesis?
What makes the molecule polar
What is hydrogen and oxygen?
These are the three main classes of complex carbohydrates
What is glycogen, fiber, and starch?
