3 What are Carbohydrates?
And more

4 What are Carbohydrates?
Carbohydrates are macromolecules made up of Carbon (C), Hydrogen (H), and Oxygen (O) Found in a ratio of 1:2:1 Usually in ring structures (in aqueous solution) Carbohydrates are the main source of energy for living things

5 Types of Carbohydrates
Monosaccharide – simple sugars, single rings of CxHxOx. Examples include: Glucose (draw this), Galactose, and Fructose * Wherever there is an angle, there is a CARBON atom

6 Types of Carbohydrates
Disaccharide – A compound made of CxHxOx with 2 joined simple sugars Examples include: Sucrose, Lactose, and maltose

7 Types of Carbohydrates

8 Types of Carbohydrates
Polysaccharide (complex carbohydrates) – large molecules formed by monosaccharide chains In animals – Glycogen: chains of glucose broken down when energy is needed. ex). muscle contraction.

9 Types of Carbohydrates
Polysaccharide (complex carbohydrates) – large molecules formed by monosaccharide chains In plants – Starch: stored energy in the form of chains of glucose Cellulose: chains of the monosaccharide Dextrose, found in cell walls Cellulose 

10 Properties of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are broken down by a process called Hydrolysis

11 Properties of Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are made from monosaccharides from dehydration reactions
