Sample cards
Alpha vs Beta glucose
In alpha-glucose, the OH group on carbon 1 is below the ring. In beta-glucose, the OH group on carbon 1 is above the ring. This difference affects which polymer is formed.
Cellulose structure and function
Beta-glucose monomers form straight chains via 1-4 glycosidic bonds. Alternating orientations allow hydrogen bonds between parallel chains, creating microfibrils with high tensile strength.
Starch structure
Amylose is unbranched and helical with 1-4 glycosidic bonds. Amylopectin is branched with 1-4 and 1-6 glycosidic bonds. Both are made from alpha-glucose.

High-yield facts (commonly tested)
- Alpha-glucose forms starch and glycogen; beta-glucose forms cellulose with 1–4 glycosidic bonds.
- Cellulose microfibrils gain tensile strength from hydrogen bonding between parallel beta-glucose chains.
- Enzymes lower activation energy; rate depends on substrate concentration, temperature, and pH.
- DNA replication is semi-conservative; transcription produces mRNA from a DNA template.
- Photosynthesis light-dependent reactions occur in thylakoids; Calvin cycle in the stroma.
