Document Summary
G3p forms the basic building block for more complex carbohydrate molecules (ch2o) Most commonly 3,5, or 6 carbon molecules. Carbohydrates exist as monosaccharides or chains of monosaccharides: glucose is the 6 carbon type, rarely see 5,6 in linear form usually in ring form. Monosaccharides with 5 or more carbons can fold into a ring form: ring form more common that linear in cells. Used for a number of cellular functions aside from energy storage. Catabolic, exergonic pathway which consumes oxygen and produces water. Energy extracted from glucose to a form that the cell can readily use- atp. Electrons which are farther from the nucleus contain more energy: the higher you have a ball. Electrons that share c-h bonds are equidistant from both atomic nuclei: high energy, can easily be removed to do work, no double bonds the elctron is equal distance (available to do work) If glucose is around they would rather use that.
