    ratio of 1.2.1.. There are many different types of carbohydrate‚ all of which are useful to living organisms. The most important carbohydrate is probable glucose. Glucose is a monosaccharide and is the monomer unit which makes up more complex polysaccharides. Two glucose molecules can be joined in a condensation reaction‚ whereby water is removed‚ for example to produce maltose‚ a disaccharide. The bond between the glucose molecules is a  1-4 glycosidic bond. Glucose is also soluble‚ a reducing sugar

    MACROMOLECULS LAB: What are the mystery powders? Period: 4 Asia Enoch Introduction: A carbohydrate is an immediate form of energy in your body. Monomers is smaller than a polymer. For carbohydrate the monomer is sugar and the polymer is a polysaccharides. Carbohydrates are important to our body because we need to use energy. The purpose of this lab is to figure which one is the monomer and which one is the polymer. Hypothesis: If I place two drops of iodine into the mystery powder‚ it would

    the linking together of many similar. Distinguish between monosaccharides‚ disaccharides‚ and polysaccharides: Monosaccharides- Simple sugars; sugar molecules may be enantiomers due due to the spatial arrangement of parts around asymmetric carbons; raw material for synthesis of other organic molecules. Disaccharides- Two monosaccharides that are joined by a glycosidic linkage. Polysaccharides- Storage or structural macromolecules made from a few hundred to a few thousand monosaccharides.

    Chitin is one of the most abundant polysaccharide in nature‚ being only second after cellulose. It can be found in animals (exoskeletons of crustacean and insects) as well as in fungi‚ mushrooms and yeasts. Chitin can be described as a biopolymer composed of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine; a chemical structure very close to cellulose except that the hydroxyl group in C of cellulose is replaced by an acetamido group in chitin. One can associate this chemical similarity between cellulose and chitin as serving

    (boil for 4 minutes -> it has extra pectin added to help setting) This is a polysaccharide It is found in the cell walls of ripe fruit. Pectin affects the setting quality of the jam. Releases pectin from the cell walls of the fruit as the fruit softens. Gives a good colour and flavour to jam. Acid prevents crystals forming. Lemon juice is commonly added. A closer look at pectin Pectin = carbohydrate -> Polysaccharides Using lemon juice helps to draw the pectin from the cell wall. Under-ripe
