B1.1.4—Form and function of monosaccharides Topic Practice
B1.1.4—Form and function of monosaccharides Topic Practice
Practise linking monosaccharide structure, polarity and ring form to glucose transport, ATP production and recognition in diagrams.
How this is tested
- distinguish alpha-D-glucose from beta-D-glucose using OH group orientation
- link glucose polarity and solubility to transport in blood plasma
- draw or recognise ring structures such as beta-D-glucose and D-ribose
