Q & A
What are oligosaccharides?
-Oligosaccharides are polymers composed of 3 to 9 monosaccharide units joined by glycosidic bonds. They are typically found attached to cellular structures and play a crucial role in cellular identity and recognition.
How do oligosaccharides function in cell recognition?
-Oligosaccharides act as a barcode or ID on the cell surface, particularly in the plasma membrane, allowing cells to be recognized by other cells in the body.
What is the significance of oligosaccharides in blood type determination?
-The type of oligosaccharides present on the surface of red blood cells determines a person's blood type. These oligosaccharides contain either three or four sugar units.
Why is blood type O considered a universal donor?
-Blood type O is considered a universal donor because the saccharide units found in type O blood are also found in other blood types, making it less likely to cause a reaction when donated.
What are polysaccharides?
-Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate molecules made up of many monosaccharides linked together by glycosidic linkages.
What are the two types of polysaccharides?
-There are two types of polysaccharides: homopolysaccharides, which are made up of only one type of monosaccharide, and heteropolysaccharides, which are made up of different types of monosaccharides.
What is the role of cellulose in plants?
-Cellulose is a major structural component of plants, particularly in wood and plant fibers. It provides mechanical strength due to hydrogen bonding between its linear chains of beta D-glucose units.
How does starch differ from cellulose?
-Starch differs from cellulose in that it is a storage carbohydrate in plants, with alpha glycosidic linkages instead of beta. It is composed of amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched) chains.
What is glycogen and where is it typically found?
-Glycogen is a highly branched polymer of alpha D-glucose that serves as a stored carbohydrate in animals. It is typically found in the liver and muscle cells.
What are the five reactions that monosaccharides can undergo?
-Monosaccharides can undergo oxidation, reduction, isomerization, esterification, and glycoside formation.
How does the oxidation of glucose provide energy for cells?
-The oxidation of glucose is a process that generates energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration, involving the transfer of electrons and the production of acids like gluconic acid.

๐ Understanding Oligosaccharides
Oligosaccharides are polymers composed of 3 to 9 monosaccharide units linked by glycosidic bonds. They are typically found attached to cellular structures, such as sphingolipids or proteins. These molecules play a crucial role in cellular identity and recognition, acting as a barcode or ID for cells. An example is the blood markers found on red blood cells, which are made up of oligosaccharides containing three or four sugar units. These markers determine a person's blood type. Type O blood is considered the universal donor because its oligosaccharides are a subset of those found in other blood types, allowing it to be donated to any recipient without causing an adverse reaction.
๐ Exploring Polysaccharides
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrate molecules made up of many monosaccharides linked together. They are categorized into homo-polysaccharides, which consist of a single type of monosaccharide, and heteropolysaccharides, which consist of different types. Four major examples of polysaccharides are cellulose, chitin, starch, and glycogen. Cellulose and chitin have beta glycosidic linkages and serve structural roles in plants and invertebrates, respectively. Starch and glycogen, with alpha glycosidic linkages, function as energy storage in plants and animals. Starch comes in two forms: amylose, a linear polymer, and amylopectin, a branched polymer. Glycogen is highly branched and found in the liver and muscle cells of animals. Chitin is found in the exoskeleton of invertebrates and cell walls of algae, fungi, and yeast.
๐ Reactions of Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides can undergo various chemical reactions, including oxidation, reduction, isomerization, esterification, and glycoside formation. Oxidation involves the transfer of electrons, where aldehyde groups in sugars can be oxidized to form carboxylic acids, known as sugar acids. Reducing sugars, which can donate or accept electrons, are important for cellular energy production. Reduction reactions yield sugar alcohols like sorbitol and xylitol, used as sweeteners. Isomerization involves the rearrangement of atoms, such as the shift of a hydrogen atom and relocation of a double bond, leading to the formation of isomers like D-glucose and D-fructose. Esterification occurs when hydroxyl groups react with acids to form esters, altering the chemical and physical properties of sugars. Phosphate esters, formed during carbohydrate breakdown, are crucial for energy provision. Glycoside formation involves the reaction of a cyclic hemiacetal or hemiketal with an alcohol to create a glycosidic linkage.

Okay The Next question is what are
oligosaccharides so oligosaccharides
from from the term or the Greek word
igos so these are polymers that are made
up of 3 to9 monosaccharide units joined
by glycosidic Bond so si
oligosaccharides is made up of how many
3 to9 na Sugar units and
oligosaccharides are typically they are
found attached to cellular
structures d siya unlike The Other ano
other types of carbohydrates si
oligosaccharides they are usually makita
na t sila na naka-attach sa cells and
they are found bound to sphingolipids or
proteins and then oligosaccharides um
they have a very very important role in
cellular identity or
recognition because Itong mga oligo
sacares they have a pattern that is
found in the extracellular meaning sa
labas ng Cell in the plasma membrane
particularly and they act as a barcode
or an ID that identifies the specific
cell type okay so again their function
is in Cell to cell recognition meaning
para ma para ma recognize sa onong body
Saan siang type sa cell that is the
function of oligo rides Let's have an
example so the very example for this one
is
the the blood markers that we can find
in our blood red blood cells Okay so
natin mga abo blood markers and we can
these are found in the red blood cells
and these blood markers Actually are
made up of oligosaccharides that contain
either three or four sugar units so
makita this one Okay so n ang Legend
kung na siya glucose siya and acy gluc
samine etc and then these are
oligosaccharides so the ones that are so
it's made up of um 3 to9 na saak ride
units and then again They they act as
markers ID for cell recognition So In
our blood na na makita dito ngang
oligosaccharides and the type of
oligosaccharides that are present in the
surface of our red blood cells will
determine your blood type okay so again
kung sa naigo sa rides ang makita sa
surface red blood cell that will
determine kung saong blood typ so kindly
Look at this illustration
here so as you can see This is um blood
type O blood type a blood type B blood
type ab ito Iyung Legend Okay so ito
iyung mga sugar or saccharide units that
are attached to the surface ito yung mga
oligo saes okay that are attached to the
surface of the red red blood cells and
again this will act as a barcode or ID
to
distinguish one type of blood cell to
another okay and as you can see class
Ano nga Iyung tinatawag nating universal
blood donor okay when we say universal
blood donor it means It is a type of
blood that it is a blood type that can
donate to other blood types other TY
okay so the universal blood donor
Actually is type O And why is that ngano
maka-date man si type O kay a b or ab
the answer to that is if you are going
to look at the oligosaccharides or the
saccharide units that is that are found
in type O gamay lang compared to the
other blood types gamay lang Actually
ang sacar units are found in the blood
type O so therefore if si blood type O
mag-donate siya kah blood type a then
walay problema because the saccharide
units that are found in blood type O are
also found in blood type a So if si
blood type O mag-donate po si Kay blood
type B wala Poy problema because the
saccharide units that are found in blood
type O are also found in blood type B
okay and the same is true if magdonate
si o kay ab So it means kung magdonate
si o sa other blood types since kay
gamay naman i ang sacar units these
sacar units are also found in other
blood types and therefore um d mo react
atong Lawas no Kasi walang something
foreign na ma-detect si ang atong Lawas
so It will be accepted by our Bodies
however the reverse cannot be done So if
for example si ab mag-donate siya kay
blood type o dili na siya pwede why that
because if you can see Uh as you can see
rather yung ah blood type ab daghan
siyang mga saccharide units na wala si
blood type O So kung salinan mo si blood
type O blood type ab then a mga
saccharide units Dito na si ab na Wala
kay o and therefore the body will detect
that as foreign and since it is foreign
to the body the body will attack it and
that can be deadly okay pwede siyang
mag-cause of of
death that's why ab cannot donate to o
kasi nga meron siyang saccharide units
na wala si o and o will detect that or
the body of that person who has blood
type O will detect that as foreign the
same is true if C type B magdonate siya
kay blood type O Dili pwede kasi meron
siyang suar units na wala si o and then
sa type a is del mo siya pwedeng
maka-date kay o kay ngaan na siya mga
saade units na wala si type O Okay so si
type O is a universal donor but it
cannot receive from other blood types si
ab siya ang universal receiver kasi it
can receive from other blood
types
Okay Now let's go to the
question What are polysaccharides so
polysaccharides This is the last
classification of um carbohydrates so
when we see polysaccharides these are
made up of many monosaccharides that are
linked together and It's a polymeric
carbohydrate molecule because polymeric
because it's a very already a huge um
molecule meaning it is already made up
of long chains of monosaccharide units
bound together by glycosidic linkages so
kan siya kay made up na G siya of many
many many na mga monosaccharide units
and if we are going to hydro
polysaccharides We will
um We will see the monosaccharide and
disaccharide units and then there are
two types of polymer of polysaccharides
we have homo polysaccharide and
heteropolysaccharide so from the term
itself homo polysaccharide homo which
means same so ma siya ang type sa
polysaccharide that is made up of only
one type of monosaccharide while si
heteropolysaccharide naman is made up of
um different types of monosaccharides
Okay so more than one type of
monosaccharide makes up
heteropolysaccharide
now there
are at least four major examples of
polysaccharides the Cellulose the kitin
starch and glycogen and Please take note
of the glycosidic linkage or bonds ng
Cellulose at saka kittin Okay Cellulose
and kittin their um glycosidic Bond is
beta so it's beta glycosidic linkages
and both Cellulose and kittin are
important for the structure of organism
so makita na si Cellulose o ktin sa
structure so they are Actually
structural materials now starch and gly
naman they are also polysaccharides but
their um glycosidic linkage is Alpha
Okay so Alpha glycosidic linkages and
they serve as carbohydrate storage sa
plants for starch and then animals sa
glycogen okay and the type of glycosidic
linkage determines the
function Okay so the first example is
Cellulose Cellulose is a major
structural component of plants
particularly sa wood and plant fibers
and again itong Cellulose It is a linear
homo polysaccharide so It is just
composed of one type of monosaccharide
which is beta d glucose and all of the
sugar units are linked in beta 144
glycosidic bonds so Iyung glycosidic
Bond ni Cellulose is beta glycosidic
bonds and one f kasi yung Carbon one is
attached to the fourth Carbon So that's
why one for glycosidic bond and
individual polysaccharide chains are
hydrogen bonded together which gives the
plant fibers their mechanical
strength next is starch or starches so
these are polymers with Alpha d made up
of Alpha d glucose that occur in plant
cells so These are the stored
carbohydrates found in plants and
usually a starch granules in in the
cytosol and note that the linkage for
starches is Alpha
linkage Okay which is lahi siya kay Ong
sa Cellulose Saito ' ba beta linkage so
again starches are Alpha linkage and the
type of searches that can can be
distinguished from one another by their
degrees of chain branching so there are
different types of um searches we have
two types
Actually so we have the amylose which is
a linear polymer of glucose with all the
residues or sugar units linked Together
by Alpha 14 bonds So this one is
amylose so linear lang siya na starch
and Alpha 14 ihang bonds Okay and then
si Amel pic naman is branch siya na
chain polymer we in with the branches
starting at Alpha 16 linkages along with
a chain of one four linkages so we have
here The Chain which is nakbun siya sa
14 Alpha 14 linkages so Iyung Carbon one
is attached to Carbon 4 but then akong i
highlight the is that May branch siya or
branch up So see um Carbon one is
attached to the carbon 6 So it creates
branches and That's the difference
between the two si Amel is linear it
doesn't have branches Well see Amel ptin
has
branches and then because starch are
storage molecules there must be a way
for releasing the glucose from starch
when the organisms Uh need energy So
kung tah low ang sugar sa
plants so there must be a wave para
ma-release ang glucose and of course
plants and animals they have enzymes
that hydrolyze starches so sea plants
and of course animals we do have enzymes
for breaking down starch the next one is
glycogen so glycogen is a Branch chain
polymer made up of Alpha d glucose and
like amylopectin
glycogen consists of a chain of Alpha
144 linkages with one si linkages at the
branch points mur siyang katong sa Amel
ptin na nag branch siya but the main
difference between glycogen and
amylopectin is that glycogen is more
branch or highly branch si and when an
organism needs energy various degree
degradative enzymes remove
glucosidase and Can you see glycogen
these are stored sugar sa animals and
usually we can find it in the liver and
in muscle cells
now the last polysaccharide that we are
going to discuss is itong kittin Okay so
kittin is similar siya kay Cellulose
because it is
um in an structure in function because
ktin also has a linear homo
polysaccharide with all the the sugar
units link at beta one for glycosidic
linkage so linear din siya na homo
polysaccharide at saka yung type ng
kanyang glycosidic Bond is beta and then
like Cellulose kitin plays a structural
role and has a fair amount of mechanical
strength because hydrogen bonds Hold the
individual strengths so the same po siya
kay Cellulose na yang function is for
mechanical strength and it is also held
by hydrogen bots and Where can we find
kittin we can find kittin and the
exoskeleton of invertebrates such as in
the insects and also in the crustaceans
so mga lobsters shrimp um crab so we can
find kitin in their exoskeleton we can
also find it in the cell walls of alga
fungi at saka yeast so kaning gahi na
portion ' ba kaning
ah exoskeleton sa kaning particular na
bakukang Okay and then sa kaning crab
Okay di na makita si ktin their
exoskeleton is made up of kite
Now let's go to the reactions of
monosaccharides what are the different
reactions that monosaccharides undergo
so we Actually have five oxidation
reduction isomerization
esterification and glycoside glycoside
formation By the way class It is just an
overview of the reaction so we will not
delve
detailed into reactions so these are
just
overview so first we have oxidation so
oxidation um so the chemical reactions
of carbohydrates are largely that of the
hydroxyl and carbonic groups so Iyung
nag-participate G sa chemical reactions
sa carbohydrates kay ang hydroxyl ug ang
carbonyl
groups so the aldehyde and the ketone
group in sugars can undergo redox
reactions to produce new substances and
By the way when we say red
that means reduction oxidation and these
are reactions that involve transfer of
electrons Okay so to recall when we say
oxidation these are substances na
naglose o electrons so just remember the
term Leo so lose electrons oxidation so
when we say the compound is oxidized
meaning the compound lost electrons and
then when the substance gains
that means
nerg reduction so just remember the term
Okay which stands for gain electrons
reduction so when we say that the
compound is reduced what we mean by that
is that n gain electrons and then
oxidation of sugar is provides energy
for organisms to care out their life
processes important oxidation example
iung oxidation ng glucose gives cells
their energy in the form of ATP and then
aldehyde groups can be oxidized and they
give the carboxyl group which is
characteristic of acids So if the
aldehyde group mag-undergo si o
oxidation it will form acids and the
term for that is sugar acid okay and
Actually mai ang Reaction na ginagamit
na to test for the present of aldos yung
mga ketos naman okay so those
monosaccharides that have a ketone group
they can also undergo oxidation Pero in
the presence of an oxidizing agent ketos
are rearranged to aldose and then they
will undergo oxidation to form a sugar
acid and then This is an example So if
the oxidation of an aldehyde group will
give us aldonic acid so for example the
oxidation of the glucose will give us
the gluconic acid and yyung
carbohydrates that can undergo oxidation
they are called reducing
sugars okay now reduction so when we say
reduction these are these are reactions
wein yyung aldehyde and ketone group Uh
will undergo reduction and that will
yield sugar alcohols Okay so G tawag po
natin sila aldi tos alds and then again
if si aldehyde at saka si ketone group
undergo of reduction meaning magin like
electrons that will give us sugar
alcohols and Actually two compounds Uh
that are formed from reduction of
aldehydes and ketones um we have C litol
and sorbitol these are Actually
derivatives
kikan sila sa
cul sa servos and sil sa commercial um
commercial na ah products no such as the
act or they are used as sweeteners sa
chewing gum o sa candy so kanang
pampatamis ang mga candy saong chewing
gum so on siya we can find sorbitol and
Salol
there the third um reaction is
isomerization so monosaccharides can
also undergo types several types of
isomerization
so for example si D glucose if ibutang
mo si sa alkaline solution after several
hours Uh we can we can see n d manos d
fructose again de glucose D manos and d
fructose are isomer of each other
because they have the same chemical
formula pero L lang ilahang arrangement
sa
atoms and both isomerization involve an
in molecular shift sa hydrogen atom and
relocation the Double Bond So that's
what happens ma relocate ma shift ang
hydrogen atom ma relocate po double bond
and the inter that na compound that is
form is we call that as an inidal so for
example in here the
glucose undergoes isomerization and
inidal intermediate is formed and then
that will
form the D fructose and d Man
can see the one in the highlighted sa
blue na nachange na na- shift ang
hydrogen atom so for example in the d
glucose at saka si D manos nag na
shifting na nahitabo sa oh o sa h So
this one the oh and the h while in the
def fructose nag-shift G ang hydrogen
atom o angang double Bond so sa glucose
and Double Bond is makita nait siya sa
sa last na Carbon atom pero sa fructose
na siya sa ikaduha or within the
chain the fourth one is esterification
and esterification happens when hydroxyl
groups of sugars react with acids and
form
esters so ma- form ang esters if yung
hydroxyl or yung oh ng sugars will react
with acids and that will form esters and
esterification changes the sugar's
chemical and physical properties yung
mga um particularly important na mga
esters or sugar esters is yyung um
phosphate esters and they are actually
intermediates that are found in the
breaking down of carbohydrates provide
energy and phosphate esters are
frequently formed by the transfer of
phosphate group from ATP to give the
phosphorylated sugar and adp so for
example we have beta d glucose and again
ATP donates one phosphate group so now
the phosphate group is attached to the
um beta d glucose and it now becomes a
phosphate Ester which is beta d glucose
6 phosphate and then na apoy um
na-produce na
adp okay and the last reaction is the
glycoside formation Now When the cyclic
hemiacetal Or cyclic hemiketal
from the monosaccharide reacts with
alcohol then a new linkage is form which
is the glycosidic linkage and the
compound is now called a glycoside Okay
remember um katong agag ang open chain
na Sugar undergo siya cyc
um mahim na siyang ring form ' ba
remember if the alcohol reacts with um
an aldehyde the compound that is form is
an a hemi acetal Okay pero if the ketone
reacts with
alcohol then the compound that is form
is hemiketal
and for this example now we have methyl
alcohol reacts with um Alpha d gluc
Paran noose
okay and that will form this glycoside
which is methyl Alpha de glucopyranose
in as
antioxidants anti-inflammatory and then
antihypertensive So basically they are
very important in our
Bodies Okay so that ends the first part
of Uh the discussion on lesson three
carbohydrates you can now proceed to
lesson two which is metabolism of
carbohydrates Okay so if you have any
questions feel free to ask me okay and
thank you for listening
