  3. What two R groups does glyceraldehyde contain?
    Carboxyl group and hydroxyl group.
  4. What R group does Dihydroxyacetone contain?
    Carboxyl group.
  5. What is a carboxyl group?
    Carbon double bonded with Oxygen.
  6. What is an isomer?
    molecules that share the same molecular composition but are structurally different.
  7. What is an aldose?
    A monosaccharide in which the carbonyl group appears at the end of the carbon skeleton.
  8. What is a methyl group?
    CH3
  9. What is an ethyl group?
    CH+ CH3
  10. The number of asymmetric atoms increases the number of ______________.
    isomers
  11. In an alpha glucose molecule the hydroxyl group is __________ the first carbon atom.
    below
  12. In a beta glucose molecule, the hydroxyl group is __________ the first carbon atom.
    above
  13. Name three disaccharides.
    Maltose, Sucrose, Lactose
  14. Maltose has _____(number) ________(alpha or beta) glucose molecules.
    2, alpha
  15. Has a _______ glycosidic linkage.
    1-4
  16. Sucrose is made of up 1 _________ and 1 _________ molecule.
    glucose, fructose
  17. Has a _________ glycosidic linkage.
    1-2
  18. Lactose is made up of 1 ________ molecule and 1 __________ molecule.
    glucose, galactose
  19. Explain lactose intolerance.
    Body does not produce lactase, which breaks down lactose into glucose and galactose.  Instead, the body ferments lactose, producing gas and toxins.
