UPDATE 2025 GRADED A
Ketose - CORRECT ANSWER Terme for monosaccharides with a ketone group
dextrorotatory and levorotatory - CORRECT ANSWER What the D and L stand
for (e.g. D-glyceraldehyde)
Dextrose - CORRECT ANSWER Alternate term for glucose because in nature it is
always D form
Penultimate - CORRECT ANSWER second to last
Epimers - CORRECT ANSWER monosaccharides that differ in the orientation at
only one position.
Furanose - CORRECT ANSWER five-atom ring structures consisting of four
carbons and one oxygen
Pyranose - CORRECT ANSWER six-atom ring structures consisting of five
carbons and one oxygen
Anomeric carbon - CORRECT ANSWER the reduced, or reacted, carbon ring
structure
Anomers - CORRECT ANSWER alpha and beta forms are called anomers, which
are structural forms that differ only in the -OH orientation about the carbon that forms
the hemiacetal group
interconversion or mutarotation - CORRECT ANSWER Anomers can convert
from one ring structure to the other through the open chain molecule
O-glycosidic linkage - CORRECT ANSWER Two monosaccharides react through
a condensation reaction to form a glycosidic linkage, which is also called an O-
glycosidic linkage to highlight the oxygen atom in the bond
homopolymers - CORRECT ANSWER single type of monosaccharide, such as
glucose
, Heteropolysaccharide - CORRECT ANSWER two more types of
monosaccharides, often in repeating fashion, in the structure
starch - CORRECT ANSWER made up of amylose and amylopectin
Glucose makes up three crucial homopolysaccharides - CORRECT ANSWER
starch, glycogen, and cellulose
Amylose - CORRECT ANSWER a linear chain of glucose joined together in alpha
1 → 4 bonds in one continuous chain with no branching
amylopectin - CORRECT ANSWER has a long chain of glucose bonded together,
but it also has branches every 24 to 30 glucose molecules apart on the main chain
(alpha 1 → 6 branch point)
reducing end - CORRECT ANSWER can undergo chemical changes easily
because the carbon is not connected to another monosaccharide
non-reducing end - CORRECT ANSWER contains the O-glycosidic linkage that
limits its reactivity
glycogen - CORRECT ANSWER the animal form of carbohydrate storage. Similar
to amylopectin, glycogen has long chains of glucose connected by alpha 1 → 4
connections, but it forms branches (alpha 1 → 6) every 8 to 12 glucose units
cellulose - CORRECT ANSWER similar to amylose in that it is a long, linear chain
of glucose molecules bonded together with no branching. The critical difference is that
beta 1 → 4 bonds connect glucose in cellulose
glycerol contains how many carbon atoms - CORRECT ANSWER 3
which of the following are derived or made from fatty acids
a. sphingolipids
b. carotenoids
c. cholesterol
d. both a and b
e. both a and c - CORRECT ANSWER A
which of the following are derived or made from fatty acids
a. cholesterol
b. carotenoids
