MonosaccharidesMonosaccharides

Glucose – PlantsGlucose – PlantsGalactose - MilkGalactose - MilkFructose - FruitsFructose - Fruits

GalactoseGalactose

Glucose RingGlucose Ring

GalactoseGalactose

RiboseRibose Sugar of RNASugar of RNA

D because the CH2OH Group is outside the ring

DeoxyriboseDeoxyribose Sugar of DNASugar of DNA

Carbon to carbon single bondMonomers have a double bondThe bond breaks and chain is formed

Polymer Examples

Polyethylene plastic bottles, bags and toys Polypropylene indoor-outdoor carpeting,

molded parts (not heart valves) Polyvinyl chloride vinyl fences, PVC pipes etc. Teflon cooking utensil coating, artificial joints

and electrical insulation Polystyrene toys, Styrofoam and simulated

wood furniture HOW bout’ that????

Saturated FatsSaturated Fats

Single Bonds on Fatty Acid chainSingle Bonds on Fatty Acid chain

palmitic acid

No double bonds present Carbon chain up to 24 in length Dietary effect is increase in blood

cholesterol level

Monosaturated FatsMonosaturated Fats

One Double Bond on Fatty Acid ChainOne Double Bond on Fatty Acid Chain

Oleic Acid

Contain up to 24 carbon atoms One double is present in the carbon chain Dietary effect is little change in blood

cholesterol level

Polyunsaturated FatsPolyunsaturated Fats

Many Double Bonds on Fatty Acid ChainMany Double Bonds on Fatty Acid Chain

Linoleic Acid

Carbon chain length up to 24 2 or more double bonds present Dietary effect is decrease in blood

cholesterol level
