Information on the structure, properties, and bonding of glucose, a simple sugar with a formula of C6H12O6. It discusses the different forms of glucose, including D-glucose, L-glucose, α-D-glucose, and β-D-glucose, and their distinguishing features. The document also explains the concept of isomers and the cyclical form of glucose in solution. Additionally, it covers the glycosidic bond, which links two monosaccharides together to form a disaccharide, and the process of dehydration synthesis, which creates the glycosidic bond.

In biological systems glucose is usually in the D form with the C5,4 and 2 OH groups projecting to the right.
Use your monograph to complete the table to

details of distinguishing features as well as
abundance as given in the monograph.

Now use the molymod kits to make the
different glucose types.
The glycosidic bond is created through a
dehydration synthesis reaction.
Recall that making bonds requires energy.
Creating polymers from monomers therefore
also requires energy.
These reactions are described as anabolic or
biosynthesis reactions.
Breaking bonds releases energy. These
reactions are described as catabolic reactions.
Where the energy of these reactions is small
the reactions are said to be reversible.
Use your monograph to complete the table.
