Glucose (C6H12O6)

Front image: 

alpha glucose

Front image: 

beta glucose

Front image: 

What is the structural difference between alpha glucose and beta glucose?

They differ in the orientation of the hydroxyl group ( –OH ) at carbon 1

What is condensation?

CONDENSATION
A chemical reaction in which 2 molecules are covalently bonded by removal of water molecule.

What is hydrolysis?

HYDROLYSIS
A chemical process in which a compound is broken down by addition of water.

Describe condensation

When a bond forms between 2 monomers, each monomer contributes part of water molecule that is released.
1 monomer provides an –OH group & the other provides a hydrogen.

Back image: 

Illustrate formation and breakdown of maltose

Back image: 

What is maltose?

Maltose is a disaccharide formed when two units of α-glucose joined with an
α-1,4- glycosidic bond.

What is cellulose?

Cellulose is a polysaccharide made up of long chain of β-glucose joined with
β-1,4- glycosidic bond.

Illustrate beta glucose (Monosaccharide)
