1 Chapter 15 Carbohydrates 15.1 Carbohydrates Copyright 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 1

2 Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are A major source of energy from our diet. Composed of the elements C,, and. Also called saccharides, which means sugars. Copyright 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2

3 Carbohydrates Carbohydrates Are produced by photosynthesis in plants. Such as glucose are synthesized in plants from C 2, 2, and energy from the sun. Are oxidized in living cells (respiration) to produce C 2, 2, and energy. Copyright 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 3

4 Types of Carbohydrates The types of carbohydrates are Monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates. Disaccharides, which consist of two monosaccharides. Polysaccharides, which contain many monosaccharides. Copyright 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 4

5 Monosaccharides Monosaccharides consist of 3 to 6 carbon atoms, typically. A carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone). Several hydroxyl groups. 5

6 Aldoses Aldoses are monosaccharides With an aldehyde group. With many hydroxyl ( ) groups. triose (3 C atoms) tetrose (4 C atoms) pentose (5 C atoms) hexose (6 C atoms) C aldose C C C 2 Erythose, an aldotetrose 6

7 Ketoses Ketoses are monosaccharides With a ketone group. With many hydroxyl ( ) groups. triose (3 C atoms) tetrose (4 C atoms) pentose (5 C atoms) hexose (6 C atoms) C 2 C= ketose C C C C 2 Fructose, a ketohexose 7

11 Fischer Projections A Fischer projection Is used to represent carbohydrates. Places the most oxidized group at the top. Shows chiral carbons as the intersection of vertical and horizontal lines. Copyright 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 11

12 D and L Notations In a Fischer projection, the group on the Chiral carbon farthest from the carbonyl group determines an L or D isomer. Left is assigned the letter L for the L-isomer. Right is assigned the letter D for the D-isomer. Copyright 2007 by Pearson Education, Inc Publishing as Benjamin Cummings 12
