Review Question 1 • How many molecules of water are needed to completely hydrolyze a polymer that is 4 monomers long? 3
Review Question 2 • After you eat a slice of apple, which reactions must occur for the amino acid monomers in the protein of the apple to be converted into proteins in your body? Amino acids are incorporated into proteins in your body by dehydration reactions
Carbohydrates • Serve as fuel and building material • Include both sugars and their polymers (starch, cellulose, etc.)
Sugars • Monosaccharides • Are the simplest sugars • Contain a single chain of carbon atoms with hydroxyl groups • They also contain carbonyl (aldehyde or keytone) groups • Can be combined into polymers

Chemical equilibrium between the linear and ring structures greatly favors the formation of rings. To form the glucose ring, carbon 1 bonds to the oxygen attached to carbon 5. • Monosaccharides • May be linear • Can form rings
Oligosaccharides – contain two or three monosaccarides attached by covalent bonds called glycosidic linkages • Disaccharides • Consist of two monosaccharides • Are joined by a single glycosidic linkage
(a) Dehydration reaction in the synthesis of maltose. The bonding of two glucose units forms maltose. The glycosidic link joins the number 1 carbon of one glucose to the number 4 carbon of the second glucose. Joining the glucose monomers in a different way would result in a different disaccharide.

Polysaccharides • Polysaccharides • Are polymers of sugars with several hundred to several thousand monosaccharide subunits held together by glycosidic linkages • Serve many roles in organisms
Chloroplast Starch 1 m Amylose Amylopectin (a) Starch: a plant polysaccharide Figure 5.6 Storage Polysaccharides • Starch • Is a polymer consisting entirely of glucose monomers • Is the major storage form of glucose in plants
Two types of Starch • Amylose • Straight chain polymer of α (alpha) glucose • Has 1-4 glycosidic linkages • Amylopectin • Branched chains of αglucose and β glucose • Has 1-4 glycosidic linkages in the main chains and 1-6 glycosidic linkages at the branch points
Glucose Storage in Animals • Glycogen • Consists of glucose monomers • Similar to Amylopectin (has 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic linkages), but there are more branches in glycogen • Stored in muscle and liver

Structural Polysaccharides • Cellulose • Is a polymer of glucose • Has different glycosidic linkages than starch • The main structural polysaccharide in plants and plant cell walls
