    This document contains a student's answers to questions about carbohydrates for a biology assessment. The student identifies monosaccharides like glucose, fructose, and galactose. Disaccharides are defined as carbohydrates that break down into two monosaccharides, such as maltose, lactose, and sucrose. Polysaccharides include cellulose, starch, and glycogen. The structures and properties of these carbohydrates are described in detail.

    Assessment 1

    Answer the following guide questions about carbohydrates. 


    1. Fructose found in fruits does not undergo hydrolysis. What class of
    carbohydrates is fructose?
     Fructose found in fruits does not undergo hydrolsis as fructose is
    monosaccharides which is basic unit of carbohydrates.

    2. What is a monosaccharide? Give at least three common examples. Draw


    each example in their open chain form, Fischer projection and cyclic form,
    Haworth formula (simplified).
     A carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolysed further to give simpler unit of
    polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone is called a monosaccharide. The three
    examples are Glucose, fructose, and Galactose.

    Glucose
    Fructose

    Galactose
    3. What is a disaccharide? Give the three common examples. Draw the
    structure of each using simplified form.
     Carbohydrates which upon hydrolysis give two molecules of the same or
    different monosaccharides are called disaccharides. The three examples
    of disaccharide are Maltose,Lactose and Sucrose.
    4. Identify the monosaccharide that fits each of the following description.
    Glucose a.  Also called blood sugar
    Galactose b.  Not metabolized in galactosemia
    Fructose c.  Also called fruit sugar
    Fructose d.  The sweetest of the monosaccharides
    Glucose e.  High blood levels in diabetes
    Galactose and Glucose f. Obtained as hydrolysis product of lactose
              Glucose g.  Important in the cellular membranes of the brain and
    nervous system
    Ribose h.  Sugar in RNA
    D-ribose i.   Sugar in DNA
    Glucose j.   Obtained as hydrolysis product of maltose

    Reflection:
     
    1.    Identify the disaccharide that fits each of the following description.

    Sucrose a.  known as table sugar

         Lactose b.  found in milk and milk products

         Maltose c.  also called malt sugar

          Lactose d.  upon hydrolysis gives galactose and glucose

          Sucrose e.  not a reducing sugar

          Maltose f.  compose of two glucose units

          Lactose g. also called milk sugar

       Sucrose h. upon hydrolysis gives glucose and fructose

        Maltose i.  has α(1:4) linkage

          Sucrose j.  has α(1:2) linkage

     
    2. Draw the cyclic form of the following:

    3.    Identify the polysaccharide described by each of the following:


    Cellulose a.  Not digestible by humans
    Starch b.  The storage form of carbohydrates in plants
    Glycogen c.  The most highly branched polysaccharide
    Glycogen d.  The storage form of carbohydrates in animals
    Starch e.  Produces maltose during digestion

    4. What disaccharide or polysaccharide is/are present in each of the


    following substances?
    Sucrose a.  cane sugar     Lactose f.  ice cream  
    Cellulose b.  cotton         Starch g.  rice
    Starch c.  potato          Sucrose h.  celery
    Lactose d.  milk            Starch i.   beans
    Starch e.  corn       Sucrose j. sweet potato   

               
    5 .What is the difference if any, between the amylose and amylopectin
    forms of starch in terms of the following:

    a. Relative abundance
     Amylose can be hydrolyzed with α amylase and β amylase enzymes completely.
    Amylopectin cannot be hydrolyzed with α amylase and β amylase enzymes
    completely.

    b. Length of polymer chain


    Amylose consists of a linear, helical chains of roughly 500 to 20,000 alpha-D-
    glucose monomers
    Amylopectin contains numerous amylose-like chains of up to 30 glucose
    residues

       c. Type of glycosidic linkages present


     Amylose has α 1-4 glycosidic linkages.
     Amylopectin has α 1-4 glycosidic linkages and α 1-6 glycosidic
    linkages

    d. Type of monosaccharide monomers present


    Both are composed of D-glucose units

    6. Write worded equation showing the hydrolysis products of the following:


    a. Lactose
    b.Cellobiose
    c.Amylose
    c. Sucrose
    d.Maltose
