Cards

Term
Carbonyl
Definition
A carbon oxygen double bond
-4 classes of carbonyls
Term
Aldehyde
Definition
Product of oxidizing a primary alcohol
Type of carbonyl
Oxygen and hydrogen bonded to an end carbon
O2 must be double bond
-anal suffix
Term
Ketone
Definition
Type of carbonyl
Oxygen and hydrogen bonded to a middle carbon
O2 must be double bond
-anone Suffix
Term
Benzaldehyde
Definition
Benzene ring w an aldehyde on it
Found in flavorings
Term
Aldehydes take precedence
Definition
Aldehydes take precedence
Term
names for Sugars
Definition
saccharides, carbohydrates,
Term
Different types of simple sugars (monosaccharides)
Definition
glucose (dextrose), fructose, galactose
Term
Different types of disaccharides (complex sugars)
Definition
Sucrose, Maltose, Lactose
(enzymes: sucrase, maltase, lactase that break these down)
Term
Many disaccharides and monosaccharides tend to polymerize...these are called:
Definition
poly saccharides
Term
Disaccharides are made up of two monosaccharides with the exclusion of H20....this type of bond is called?
Definition
Glycoside bond
Term
Glycoside bond means...
Definition
the bonding of two simple sugars, typically at the first and fourth carbon with the exclusion of a water molecule
-the sugar must exist in the hemiacetal form
Term
Hemiacetal form of sugar
Definition
the ring form of sugars (the most commonly found form of sugars), can be either beta or alpha, depending on the location of the OH group on the last carbon (alpha is down, beta is up)
-the fifth carbon bonds to the 1st (aldehyde carbon)
-the molecule loses the oxygen double bond on the aldehyde
Term
beta vs. alpha rings
Definition
beta: OH on 6th carbon is up
Alpha: OH on 6th carbon is down
Term
Forms sugar can exist in:
Definition
Open chain form, beta hemiacetal form, alpha hemiacetal form
**Chirality? --> enantiomers and diastereomers
Term
Chirality
Definition
for a center atom to be chiral, it must have four different groups bonded to it
certain molecules exist in a "left handed or right handed" form
its a property of assymetry
An object or a system is chiral if it is not identical to its mirror image, that is, it cannot be superposed onto it.
-chirality leads to enantiomers and diastereomers
Term
D vs. L
Definition
describes the chirality of the second to last carbon (on a sugar)
D means the OH group is on the right
L means the OH group is on the left
Term
enantiomers
Definition
two molecules that appear to be mirror images but are chiral
Term
diastereomers
Definition
At least one of the chiral centers of a molecule are switched from the original molecule, but not all of them can be switched.
Term
Tollen's reagent (making silver
Definition
-REQUIRES an aldehyde (in this case sugar was used)
-requires a catalyst and silver ion (Ag+)
Take away 2 hydrogens or add oxygen
requires (this is an oxication reaction)
makes silver
Term
Hydrogenation (reduction)of an aldehyde or a ketone
Definition
-add two Hydrogens or take away O2
-requires Hydrogen and a catalyst
Term
Benedict's test
Definition
require's a sugar w/ a free carbonyl (aldehyde, all simple sugars-referred to as reducing sugars)
when sugar reacts with benedict's test, the color changes from blue-red (and everythin in b/w)
This can be used to indicate excess sugar in blood or urine
Starch acts like a nonreducing sugar due to eventual termination of the branching
Term
Maltose
Definition
GLU[alpha1,4]GLU
Term
Isomatlose
Definition
GLU[alpha1,6]GLU
-occurs in amylose when branching to make amylopectin
Term
Starch
Definition
amylose and amylopectin
Term
Polysaccharides (4 of them)
Definition
starch
ribose
2-deoxyribose
glucosamine (chitin)
Term
Honey
Definition
50%glucose
50% fructose
**normally these bond to become sucrose, table sugar
**enzyme in bee spit allows for these to to exist without bonding, referred to as hydrolizing (adding in H20 that would normally be cut out in bonding process)
Term
sugars typically exist in ______ forms
Definition
3
Term
breakdown of glucose in human body
Definition
-due to metabolism and enzymes, aldoase
glucose>fructose>dihydroxy acetone>glyceradlehyde> CO2 acetate>CO2 + H2O
Term
Sucrose
Definition
GLU[alpha1,beta2]FRU
Term
(poly)Cellulose
Definition
*similar to maltose, but beta forms of glucose are used
GLU[beta1,4]GLU
Term
Lactose
Definition
GAL[beta1,4]GLU
