Objective: Learn the structure and functions of carbohydratesNew words: iodine, indicator, starch, glucose, ribose, cellulose

DO NOW:A student, Edwin, has tested different kinds of food to know which food contains starch.

He found the following results:

•Starch is present in: corn, rice, apple, banana, potato and pear.

•Starch is absent in: chicken meat, ham, egg, cheese, and milk.

What conclusion would you make from the food testing?

Would pumpkin contain starch? How do you know?

• What do all these molecules have in common?• What kind of compounds are shown in the pictures?

Objective: Learn the structure and functions of carbohydratesNew words: carbohydrate, glucose, ribose, ratio, glycogen, starch, cellulose, monosaccharide, polysaccharide

Do Now: List 4 things all the molecules below have in common

•What is the # of atoms of the following elements: carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen?•What is the C:H:O ratio?•What do this molecules are made of?•How do you say that in Greek?•What is another word to say “Carbohydrate”?•What is about the shape?


Carbohydrates•Carbohydrates are compounds made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, usually in a ratio of 1:2:1

•They dissolve in water and their color is white.

•Living things use carbohydrates as their main source of energy. The breakdown of sugar, such as glucose, supplies immediate energy for all cell activities.

•Also, plants and some animals also use carbohydrates for structural purposes.

•For example, cellulose gives the plant much of their strength and rigidity. Cellulose is the major component of both wood and paper, so you are actually looking at cellulose as you read these words!


1. Carbohydrates are (organic/ inorganic) __________ molecules compounds.

2.They are made of the following elements:

3. The ratio between carbon, hydrogen and oxygen is the same as __________

4. They dissolve in _____________, usually their color is __________________

5. The jobs of carbohydrates are

Organic

Carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

1:2:1

water white

1. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy

2. It gives plants strength and rigidity


Complex sugarComplex sugar


• Living things store extra sugar as complex carbohydrates known as starches•Single sugar molecules are also called monosaccharides.

• Simple sugar include glucose, galactose, which is a component of milk, and fructose, which is found in many fruits.

galactose

fructose


•.

•When the level of glucose in your blood runs low, glycogen is released from your liver. The glycogen stored in your muscles supplies the energy for muscle contraction and thus, for movement.

• Plants use a slightly different polysaccharide, called plant starch, to store excess sugar. Starch is present in potato, rice, and corn.

Starch


•The large macromolecules formed from simple sugar are known as complex sugar (polysaccharides).

• Many animals store excess sugar in a polysaccharide called glycogen, or animal starch.


DO NOW
