2.  Organic compounds of carbon,hydrogen, and oxygen in a ratio of about one carbon atom, two hydrogen atoms to one oxygen atom.

3.  A monosaccaride is the monomer of a carbohydrate.  The chemical formula for it is CH 2 ON3-8.

4.  1) A monosaccharide is a monomer of a carbohydrate (CH2O) 3-8. Examples are, fructose, galactose, and glucose.  2) A disaccharide is 2 monosaccharides combined. An example is sucrose.  3) A polysaccharide is 3 or more monosaccharides combine.

5.  Carbohydrates, are used as energy for animals. Carbohydrates are stored in the liver and muscles in animals for quick use of energy.

6.  Plants store glucose molecules in the form of polysaccharide starch. Starch molecules have two basic forms of highly branched chains that are similar to glyocogen and long, coiled unbranched chains.  Plants also make a large polysaccharide called cellulose. Cellulose gives the strength and rigidity to plant cells, which,makes up about 50% of wood.
