Biomolecules-Carbohydrates

 

Biomolecules are the complex organic molecules such as carbohydrate, proteins, lipids, nucleic acid etc. which be done living organisms and required for the growth and maintenance are called biomolecules.

Carbohydrates- are primary energy sources are also known as saccharides.

      ·        is optically active polyhydroxy Aldehyde or polyhydroxy ketones or the compounds which can be hydrolysed to them.

      ·       General formula- Cx(H2O) y

      ·        Formaldehyde and acetic acid have like this formula (CH2O), (C2H4O2) respectively but these are not carbohydrate.

      ·       Deoxyribose (C5H10O4) is carbohydrate but it does not obey the general formula of carbohydrate.

Type of carbohydrates upon their hydrolysis -

Mono-saccharides

(Simple Carbohydrate)

Oligosaccharides

 

Polysaccharides

Cannot be hydrolysis into other simpler

On hydrolysis, give 2-10 units of monosaccharides

On hydrolysis, give a large number of monosaccharide units

Ex-

Glucose-contains CHO group

Fructose-contains (C=O) Keto group

Ex-

Sucrose- Glucose + Fructose

Maltose- Glucose + Glucose

Lactose- Glucose + Galactose

Ex-

Cellulose –contain many D-Glucose units joined by B-Glyosidic linkage between glucose units

Starch- is polymer of D-Glucose

Starch is polymer of D-Glucose consist of two components. These are as-

S.No.

Amylose

Amylopectin

1

Linear polymer of D-Glucose

Consist of linear as well as branched chain polymer of D-Glucose

2

Soluble in water

Insoluble in water

3

give blue colour with I2

Do not give blue colour with I2

Type of carbohydrates upon Reducing nature-

S.No.

Reducing Sugar

Non-reducing sugar

1

Can reduce Tollen’s reagent & Fehling ‘s solution

Since these have Free aldehyde (-CHO) or keto group(=CO)

Can not reduce Tollen’s reagent & Fehling ‘s solution

Since these have no free aldehyde or keto group

2

Ex-

      ·    All Monosaccharides such as         Glucose, Fructose

     ·       Maltose-Disaccharide

     ·       Lactose -Disaccharide

Ex-

        ·     Sucrose,

       ·       Cellulose
