Biological Molecules (Carbohydrates)
Type in the name of the company you are going to have an interview with.
Disaccharide (Lactose)
Lactose is composed of glucose and galactose, two simpler sugars used as energy more readily available, it aids in the absorption of calcium and phosphorus in our bodies
- White solid - Polar - Soluble in water and ethanol
What experience have you got from your previous jobs? Make sure you specify all your previous work experience, part-time jobs, vacation jobs, voluntary work, and unpaid work experience that are relevant for the position you are applying for.
Galactose and glucose units joined by a β-1,4-glycosidic linkage, by a condensation reaction
Describe a typical work day in your previous/current position.
Glucose and galactose make up this disaccharide
Why will/did you leave your existing/last job?
Two carbon rings bonded, consisting of of C, O, H, function grp. hydroxyl carbonyl groups, two sugars bonded together
Monosaccharide (Glucose & Galactose)
Do you fully understand what this position implies?
After you've made some research on the company, read the job description thoroughly, and try to fully understand what your responsibilities will be.
Immediate source of energy, important for structure of organisms and cellular respiration, create energy for cells
- Colourless - Polar - Solid and liquid - Soluble in water and acids, not in nonpolar solvents - Sweet in taste
What would you do on the first day?
What about the first week(s)? Fill in some of the actions that you are planning to take.
When bonded more than one monosaccharide, glycosidic bonds are formed using condensation reaction, water is removed for bonding capability
What do you think the main challenges will be?
Type them in.
Monomers include glucose, fructose and galactose
What will be your main tasks?
Type them in.
Molecules of C, O, H, function grp. consists of hydroxyl carbonyl groups, ring structure and α-carbohydrates the OH grp. is opposite direction of monomer (CH2OH), β-carbohydrates are same direction of monomer, helical or straight chained shape
Oligosaccharide (Maltotriose)
Found on the plasma membrane of animal cells for cell-cell recognition and cell binding, different oligosaccharide determine blood type of red blood cells,
- Polar - Solid and liquid - Soluble in water and acids, not in nonpolar solvents - Sweet
Glycosidic bonds formed by condensation reaction
How would you describe yourself?
Type in a short description.
Three glucose molecules bonded together
What are your hobbies?
What do you like to do in your free time? What was the last film you saw or the last book you read? Think of the activities that relax you the most. Fill in several hobbies.
Made up of to 20 monosaccharides joined together, function grp. hydroxyl carbonyl groups, chain of many monosaccharides
Polysaccharide (Starch & Cellulose)
Are you qualified for this position?
Interviewers will want to know whether or not you are able to do the job.
Answer the questions from this section and see if you are the right person for this position.
Functions
What is the most compelling reason you should be hired?
Stored energy, not immediate since many bonds need to be broken, important for cellular structure (cell wall)
Properties
What can you do for this job that other candidates can't? Why?
- White solid - Polar - Solid and liquid - Insoluble in water - Not sweet in taste - hydrophobic
Linkage
Which qualities were easily observed by your colleagues and/or your former/existing boss?
Type them in.
Many alpha and beta glycosidic linkage formed by condensation reaction
Monomer
What are your weaknesses?
Examples:
