Uses
a. green plants
- store energy as CHO. eg starch
- structural material (form large proportion of plant biomass). eg cellulose
Structures
- mono = 1 unit
- di = 2 units (useful in pharmacy)
- oligo = 2-8 units
- poly = N units
Type sugar varies enormously
Formation
a. sugars are formed as a result of photosynthesis
- glucose-6-phosphate and fructose-6-phosphate
- hydrolysed to glucose or fructose and converted to starch or consumed as energy
- form sugar nucleotides with UTP or ATP -> uridine diphosphoglucose etc and converted to different sugars
b. sugars unite with a wide variety of compounds to form glycosides
