Monosaccharides join together by CONDENSATION REACTION and the bond that joins them together
is a GLYCOSIDIC BOND

Breaking apart disaccharides (and polysaccharides)
![Page 23: Biological Compounds. Macronutrients BIG nutrients – these are complex chemicals Carbohydrates ENERGY Cellular respiration XS stored as FAT Broken down](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5517bb645503461b658b45c3/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Disaccharides – KEY FACTS
Disaccharides are formed from two monosaccharides
glucose + glucose makes MALTOSE glucose + fructose makes SUCROSE glucose + galactose makes LACTOSE
The reaction that joins two monosaccharides is called a condensation reaction
(break them up with hydrolysis)
The bond formed between two monosaccharides is called a GLYCOSIDIC BOND – the number of the carbon atoms nearby that are joined gives the bond its name e.g. 1,4 glycosidic bond
for maltose

(70%)
• Amylose: – unbranched chains– 1,4 glycosidic bonds– >300 glucose monomers, helical shape– coils have 6 monomers/turn held
together by hydrogen bonds

![Page 31: Biological Compounds. Macronutrients BIG nutrients – these are complex chemicals Carbohydrates ENERGY Cellular respiration XS stored as FAT Broken down](https://reader038.vdocuments.net/reader038/viewer/2022102923/5517bb645503461b658b45c3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Polysaccharides
Complex carbohydrates – many monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic bonds
In plants strings of α-glucose joined by glycosidic bonds form starch, which is made up of amylose & amylopectin
Amylase breaks the glycosidic bonds from the ends of amylose, and amylopectin (branched) which releases energy

Polysaccharides – key facts
Complex carbohydrates – many monosaccharides joined together by glycosidic bonds
They often fold-up on themselves to become more complex or are branched
The body/plants uses polysaccharides as storage – these molecules can be broken down into smaller components
Breaking glycisidic bonds is referred to as HYDROLYSIS and releases a lot of ENERGY
Polysaccharides are INSOLUBLE so do not interfere with other chemical functions of the cell and have little impast on osmosisStarch is a polysaccharide found in plants
Glycogen is a polysaccharide found in animals

Triglycerides containing saturated fatty acids have a high melting point and tend to be found in warm-blooded animals. At room temperature thay are solids (fats), e.g. butter, lard. Triglycerides containing unsaturated fatty acids have a low melting point and tend to be found in cold-blooded animals and plants. At room temperature they are liquids (oils), e.g. fish oil, vegetable oils.

They are used for storage, insulation and protection in fatty tissue (or adipose tissue) found under the skin (sub-cutaneous) or surrounding organs.
They yield more energy per unit mass than other compounds so are good for energy storage.
Water released in oxidisation called metabolic water, important to organisms in dry climates
Carbohydrates can be mobilised more quickly, and glycogen is stored in muscles and liver for immediate energy requirements.
