Glucose • He is a simple sugar (monosaccharide)

• he is an important carbohydrate in biology.

• Cells use him as a source of energy and a metabolic intermediate.

•He is one on the main products of photosynthesis and starts cellular respiration.

Subunits of Glucose• Carbon: 6• Hydrogen: 12• Oxygen: 6• Ration 1:2:1

Functional Groups of Glucose

• Glucose is derived from hexanol, a chain of six carbon atoms terminating with an aldehyde group.

Function of Carbohydrates(Monosaccharides)

• Fuel for the body– Provides raw material for synthesis of amino and

fatty acids.

• One of the main energy sources for living organisms.• It is the primary source of energy in the body.• The primary source of energy for the brain.• It is a necessary substrate for glycolysis so that pyruvates can be made to be used in citric acid cycle.

I would be a great parent to Glucose because I am a loving and caring parent. I would treat it great because it treats me great by supplying me with energy and helps me with cellular respiration. I am going to watch out so it doesn’t get into water at all because it will dissolve considering it is soluble in water. Also, it is my favorite bio-molecule so I will try to eat a lot of it by eating sugar cane, chewing gum, jellys, and jams.

Organic Compound

• Disaccharide Carbohydrates

• Functions: – Provide fuel for energy in the form of sugar

– Excellent preservative

– Carries energy in plants

• Sucrose is used sometimes as a sweetener in any cooked preparation of food or drink.• Used as a storage disaccharide for glucose.• Commonly known as table sugar.

I would be a great parent to SUCROSE because it is a well behaved and fun bio-molecule. It will help me if I am eating dull food and need some extra sweetness. I can add some table sugar, which is sucrose, and it will help me out. Also, sucrose is widely traded so any sucrose molecule that is bullying my son, I will trade them for money. A good thing is that it will never smell bad because it is odorless.

Welcome to parent teacher night! Looks like you ate too much sucrose and turned into a ginger bread man!

Your such a good parent trying to look like your son!
