Carbohydrates Carbohydrates are a major source of energy from our diet made from elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen also called saccharides, which means “sugars” 2

Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. Carbohydrates are produced by photosynthesis in plants such as glucose are synthesized in plants from CO 2, H 2 O, and energy from the sun are oxidized in living cells to produce CO 2, H 2 O, and energy 3

Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. Types of Carbohydrates The types of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates disaccharides, which consist of two monosaccharides polysaccharides, which contain many monosaccharides 4

Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. Monosaccharides consist of three to eight carbon chains with one carbon in a carbonyl group are further classified as an aldose, which contains an aldehyde group, or a ketose, which contains a ketone carbonyl group have several hydroxyl groups 5

Chemistry: An Introduction to General, Organic, and Biological Chemistry, Eleventh Edition Copyright © 2012 by Pearson Education, Inc. Types of Monosaccharides Monosaccharides are also classified by the number of carbon atoms present. triose (3 C atoms)tetrose (4 C atoms) pentose (5 C atoms)hexose (6 C atoms) An aldopentose indicates a five-carbon saccharide with an aldehyde group. 6
