Short polymer Unlinked monomer
Dehydration removes
a water molecule,
forming a new bond.

• Yield 2-10 monosaccharide units on hydrolysis
• Example: Maltotriose composed of three
glucose molecules which are linked with α-1,4
glycosidic bonds.

20. • The long chain polymers are either straight
chain or branched. They are also called
glycanes.
• Classification of Polysaccharides:
• 1) On the Basis of Function:
• a) Storage e.g. Starch, glycogen
b) Structural e.g. Cellulose, Pectin
• 2) On the Basis of Composition:
• a) Homo polysaccharides(same type of
monosaccharide)
b) Hetero polysaccharides.(different type)

DISCOVERY OF DNA’S FUNCTION
In all living cells, DNA molecules store
information that governs heritable traits
82. 12.2 Discovery of DNA Structure
DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides,
coiled into a double helix
Each nucleotide has
• A five-carbon sugar (deoxyribose)
• A phosphate group
• A nitrogen-containing base (adenine, thymine,
guanine, or cytosine)
84. Base Pairing
Bases of two DNA strands pair in only one way
• Adenine with thymine (A-T)
• Guanine with cytosine (G-C)
The DNA sequence (order of bases) varies
among species and individuals
85. 31
2-nanometer diameter overall
0.34-nanometer distance
between each pair of bases
3.4-nanometer
length of each
full twist of the
double helix
In all respects shown here, the
Watson–Crick model for DNA
structure is consistent with the
known biochemical and x-ray
diffraction data.
The pattern of base
pairing (A with T,
and G with C) is
consistent with the
known composition
of DNA (A = T,
and G = C).
86. Key Concepts:
THE DNA DOUBLE HELIX
A DNA molecule consists of two chains of
nucleotides, hydrogen-bonded together along
their length and coiled into a double helix
Four kinds of nucleotides make up the chains:
adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine
87. 12.3 Watson, Crick, and Franklin
Rosalind Franklin’s research
produced x-ray diffraction
images of DNA
• Helped Watson and Crick
build their DNA model, for
which they received the
Nobel Prize
