    M3 - Assessment - Final

    Uploaded by

    ricky
    This document contains an assessment on carbohydrate structures and functions with multiple choice and true/false questions. It tests the understanding of monosaccharide and disaccharide structures, glycosidic linkages, anomers, and the differences between key carbohydrates like glycogen, starch and cellulose. Students are asked to classify monosaccharides, identify anomer forms, name epimers, draw Haworth projections, and determine if sugars are reducing or non-reducing. The assessment covers topics like polysaccharide structure and function, fiber benefits, and the biochemical basis for a high carbohydrate diet in athletes.

    section.

    1. Classify the following monosaccharides: A] aldose B] ketose

    a) b) c) d)

    2. Identify the structures below as being the α- or β- forms, and draw the structure of their
    anomers:

    a) b)
    3. Identify the glycosidic linkage in each of the following molecules:

    4. Define the following terms: polysaccharide, furanose, pyranose, aldose, ketose, glycosidic
    bond, oligosaccharide, glycoprotein, reducing sugar.
    5. Name which, if any, of the following are epimers of D-glucose: D-mannose, D-galactose, D-
    ribose.
    6. Draw a Haworth projection for the disaccharide gentibiose, given the following information:
    (a) It is a dimer of glucose. (b) The glycosidic linkage is β(1→ 6). (c) The anomeric carbon
    not involved in the glycosidic linkage is in the α configuration.
    7. How does glycogen differ from starch in structure and function?
    8. What is the main structural difference between cellulose and starch?
    9. Recall: What is the main structural difference between glycogen and starch?
    10. What is the benefit of fiber in the diet?
    11. Some athletes eat diets high in carbohydrates before an event. Suggest a biochemical basis
    for this practice.
    B. TRUE OR FALSE. Write TRUE in capital letters if the statement is correct; FALSE, if not.
    1. The molecular formula for glucose is C6H12O6.
    2. Boat and chair configurations are found only in -D-glucopyranose.
    3. The most abundant biomolecule on earth is water.
    4. The intestinal cells of the adult can only absorb glucose.
    5. Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes & phenols.
    6. Monosaccharides are the "building blocks" of carbohydrates.
    7. Fructose & glucose are structural monosaccharides.
    8. Ribose & glucose have the same number of C atoms.
    9. Mannitol is a disaccharide.
    10. Chitin is a homopolysaccharide.
    11. Mannonic acid is a sugar acid.
    12. The carbohydrate of honey is fucose.
    13. -D-glucopyranose and -D-glucopyranose are anomeric isomers.
    14. The smallest carbohydrates are trioses.
    15. Sucrose is the disaccharide produced on the hydrolysis of starch.
    16. Carbohydrates occur naturally in the D-form.
    17. Peptidoglycan is the material that results from the crosslinking of
    polysaccharides by the peptide.
    18. Type O blood is a universal acceptor.
    19. Maltose is a reducing sugar.
    20. Glucose and galactose are epimers at carbon number 2.

    C. Drawing of structures: Label the structures as D or L-aldose or ketose. Draw the


    Haworth projections for the alpha- & beta-isomers & give the correct name. Draw the -
    (1→4) disaccharide for H & E structures.

    D. For the given trisaccharide, encircle & label the glycosidic linkages ( or ). Encircle the
    anomeric carbon. Identify if the trisaccharide is reducing or nonreducing sugar.
    E. Melibiose is a disaccharide that occurs in some plant juices. It is composed of galactose
    & glucose units joined by -(1→6)- glycosidic linkage. Draw the structure of melibiose.
    Is melibiose a reducing or nonreducing sugar? Justify your answer.
