Carbohydrate Chemistry: simple sugars, rings and glycosides
Carbohydrates are of great importance in energy metabolism, and are essential components of nucleic acids (RNA and DNA). They are also found attached to many proteins (“glycoproteins”). Sugars are also called saccharides. Simple sugars, with only one sugar unit, are called monosaccharides.
6.1: Structure and Function- Carbohydrates – Introductory Biochemistry
Carbohydrates are commonly described as sugars, or saccharides, from the Greek word for sugar. The simplest carbohydrates are called monosaccharides. An example is glucose. Monosaccharides can be joined to make larger molecules. Disaccharides contain two monosaccharides. Sucrose is a disaccharide, containing both fructose and glucose.
6.2: Sugar Metabolism – Introductory Biochemistry
Sugars in the body are maintained by three processes – 1) diet; 2) synthesis (gluconeogenesis); and 3) storage. The storage forms of sugars are, of course, the polysaccharides and their metabolism is our next topic of discussion.
Carbohydrates: Classification, Structure, Functions - Microbe Notes
2023年8月3日 · Carbohydrates are a large group of organic compounds consisting of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen which can be typically broken down into monomers to release energy in living beings. These are the most abundant biomolecules in the living body in terms of mass.
8.1: Carbohydrates Fundamentals - Chemistry LibreTexts
Carbohydrates, also known as sugars, are found in all living organisms. They are essential to the very source of life (ex. Ribose sugars in DNA and RNA) or sustaining life itself (e.g., Metabolic conversion of carbohydrates into usable biochemical energy, ATP).
Sugar | Definition, Types, Formula, Processing, Uses, & Facts
2024年11月8日 · Sugar, any of numerous sweet, colorless, water-soluble compounds present in the sap of seed plants and the milk of mammals and making up the simplest group of carbohydrates. The most common sugar is sucrose, a crystalline tabletop and industrial sweetener used in foods and beverages.
8: Carbohydrate Structures, Stereochemistry, and Glycosides
2019年7月15日 · Carbohydrates, also known as sugars, are found in all living organisms. They are essential to the very source of life (ex. Ribose sugars in DNA and RNA) or sustaining life itself (ex. Metabolic conversion of carbohydrates into usable biochemical energy, ATP). Another important role of carbohydrates is structural (ex. Cellulose in plants).
Session 8: Introduction to Sugar Chemistry and Carbohydrate …
This video by Professor John Essigmann provides an introduction to carbohydrate catabolism. It is the first video in the metabolism portion of the course. The mechanism of phosphoglycerate mutase, the eighth enzyme in glycolysis, is the focus of this problem.
