Question

assignment on carbohydrates.

Answer 1

Carbohydrates are aldehydes and ketose that provide energy to any living system.

We hear a lot about carbohydrate and there types like that of monosaccharide, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. Monosaccharide are simple carbohydrates that follows up the formula (CH2O) n. Example includes glucose and fructose. Likewise oligosaccharides are those carbohydrates that are formed by joining two monosaccharide called disaccharides and three monosaccharide forming trisaccharides. Similarly, when 2-10 such monosaccharide’s gets linked together they give different formats of oligosaccharides and the most common example includes maltose and sucrose. Polysaccharides are those carbohydrates that have more than 10 monosaccharide linked together. Such as: Starch and Cellulose. These way carbohydrates can be divided into several forms as per the complexity of living body.
