16 Carbohydrates
Carbohydrate a polyhydroxyaldehyde or Carbohydrate:
polyhydroxyketone, or a substance that gives these compounds on hydrolysis Monosaccharide a carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed Monosaccharide: to a simpler carbohydrate
monosaccharides have the general formula CnH2nOn, where n varies from 3 to 8 aldose a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group aldose: ketose a monosaccharide containing a ketone group ketose:

16 Monosaccharides
There are only two trioses
CHO CHOH CH 2 OH Glyceraldehyde (an aldotriose) CH 2 OH C=O CH 2 OH D ihydroxyacetone (a ketotriose)
often aldo- and keto- are omitted and these compounds are referred to simply as trioses although this designation does not tell the nature of the carbonyl group, it at least tells the number of carbons 16-5

16 Cyclic Structure
Monosaccharides have hydroxyl and carbonyl groups in the
same molecule and exist almost entirely as five- and sixmembered cyclic hemiacetals
anomeric carbon the new stereocenter resulting from cyclic carbon: hemiacetal formation anomers carbohydrates that differ in configuration at their anomers: anomeric carbons

16 Haworth Projections
Haworth projections
five- and six-membered hemiacetals are represented as planar pentagons or hexagons, as the case may be, viewed through the edge most commonly written with the anomeric carbon on the right and the hemiacetal oxygen to the back right the designation F- means that -OH on the anomeric carbon is cis to the terminal -CH2OH; E- means that it is trans

Starch is used for energy storage in plants
it can be separated into two fractions; amylose and amylopectin. Each on complete hydrolysis gives only D-glucose amylose is composed of continuous, unbranched chains of up to 4000 D-glucose units joined by E-1,4-glycoside bonds amylopectin is a highly branched polymer of D-glucose. Chains consist of 24-30 units of D-glucose joined by E-1,4-glycoside bonds and branches created by E-1,6-glycoside bonds
