Carbohydrates

Simple sugars have atoms arranged in a _ structure ring double helix linear Squared The scientific term for a simple sugar is carbohydrate monosaccharide lipid Glucose is a good source of _ energy. long-term short-term stored Match the pairs! Monosaccharide 1 ring Disaccharide 2 rings joined (only) Polysacchardie 3+ rings joined Carbohydrates are used for short-term energy storage. They are made of the elements Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen (often found in a 1:2:1 ratio). When two building blocks (monomers) link together, they can form a larger structure known as a polymer.A polymer of carbohydrates found in plants is starch. These types of foods contain very longchains. Animals have a starch known as glycogen (stored in the muscle tissue and in livers). Insect exoskeletons are made of a polymer called chitin. It provides the hard exoskeleton of the insect.Organic molecules MUST have a least 1 carbon bonded to a hydrogen! Therefore water is not an organic molecule.The most common monomer of most carbohydrates is glucose. It is a very common, simple sugar that exists as a single hexagon. Fructose is often a monosaccharide found in fruits. Galactose is 2 _ join together to make_.
