TERMS A
Metabolism: Chemical reactions that keep cells alive.
Divided into 2 classes:
Anabolism: Process of building up, or synthesizing, the molecules of living systems.
&
Catabolism: Degrading of molecules to provide energy.
Monosaccharide (Carbohydrate): Sugar & sweet tasting carbohydrates. Simplest Sugars.
Cannot be hydrolyzed.
Types:
-Glucose, galactose (Lactose, sugar in milk), fructose (Fruit sugar).
-Glucose & galactose= aldoses
-Fructose= Ketose
Disaccharide: A carbohydrate whose molecules can hydrolyze to yield two monosaccharide
units.
For example,
-Sucrose + H2O glucose & fructose
-Lactose + H2O glucose & galactose
Types:
-Sucrose & Lactose.
Polysaccharides: Composed of large molecule that yield many monosaccharides.
Types:
