Functions of sugars
Energy Source
D-glucose/glycogen/starch for metabolism
Structural Role
Cellulose in exoskeleton and cell walls, Hyaluronan and Pectin in extracellular matrix
Molecular RecognitionCovalently attached polymeric arrays of sugars form oilgosaccharides
Attached to side chain groups of proteins and others to lipids to form glycoproteins and glycolipids
Chemical code for identifying cells - variety of different sugars, the various ways in which they are linked,
