Question

1. What two (2) functional groups are found in all sugars/carbohydrates? 2. What does it mean when we say two molecules are chemical isomers? 3. What is a glycosidic linkage? 4. How are starch and glycogen alike, and how are they different? 5. Where would you find these structural carbohydrates? a. Cellulose b. Chitin C. Peptidoglycan 6. Compare the level of potential energy in the bonds of carbon dioxide and water, compared to the bonds in carbohydrates.

please answer all questions. make it visible enough thank you.

Answer 1

1) All the monosaccharides( sugars/carbohydrates) have two main functional groups they are carbonyl group and the hydroxyl group.

2) isomers are the ions or molecules with are having the identical formulas but they have distinct arrangements of atoms in the space
3) glycosidic bond or glycosidic linkage are a certain type of covalent bond which joins an carbohydrate molecule to the another group
4) starch and glucogen are the made up of glucose and they are polymers of glucose
Starch is found in plants whereas glycogen is stored in animals inside liver
