CONDENSATION REACTIONS
◦
A condensation reaction joins two molecules together with the formation of a
chemical bond .
It involves the elimination of water .

GLUCOSE
glucose is abundant and
very important monosaccharide
◦ an .
◦
It contains six carbon atoms so it is a hexose
sugar .
◦
It has the general formula C6H / 206
◦
Glucose is the major energy source for most cells
◦
It is so it can dissolve into the bloodstream
highly soluble .
◦
the structure of glucose can be shown in different
ways :

The
only difference between these two isomers is the position of the -

In alpha glucose it is below the carbon and in beta it is above the carbon

CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates
°
are a group of substances used both as an and as a
energy source
structural material in organisms .
°
All carbohydrates contain carbon , and
hydrogen oxygen .
°
There are 3 main groups of carbohydrates
:
monosaccharides
-
these are simple sugars
they have the general formula ( CH20 )n Where n is between 3- 7
and fructose
examples are
glucose galactose
, .
Disaccharide s
-
these are formed from the condensation of 2
monosaccharides
some common disaccharides include :
Glucose +
glucose = maltose
Glucose + fructose = sucrose
Glucose + Galactose = lactose

Polysaccharides
These are large molecules ( macromolecules) formed from the
condensation of linked
many monosaccharides ,
which are
by
glycosidic bonds
Polysaccharides are insoluble in water
some examples of polysaccharides are starch ,
Glycogen
and cellulose
