29. Carbohydrates are essential for life in both plants and animals.
Carbohydrates are used as storage molecules as starch in plants and
glycogen in animals. Chemically they are polyhydroxy aldehydes or 30. Transition metals have incomplete d-subshell either in neutral atom or in
ketones. On the basis of their behaviour on hydrolysis, carbohydrates are
their ions. The presence of partly filled d-orbitals in their atoms makes
classified as monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. All
transition elements different from that of the non-transition elements.
A monosaccharide like glucose is With partly filled d-orbitals, these elements exhibit certain characteristic
aldohexose and its molecular formula was found to be C 6H12O6. After
properties such as display of a variety of oxidation states, formation of
reacting with different reagents like HI, H2N OH, Bromine water,
(CH3CO)2O, etc. its structure was found to contain one aldehyde group, coloured ions and entering into complex formation with a variety of
one primary alcoholic group, ( CH2OH) and four secondary alcoholic
ligands. The transition metals and their compounds also exhibit catalytic
groups ( CHOH). Despite having the aldehyde group, glucose does not
give some of the reactions of aldehyde group like Schiff 3
properties and paramagnetic behaviour. The transition metals are very
addition. This explains the existence of glucose in two cyclic hemiacetal hard and have low volatility. An examination of the E
