1. Carbohydrates

2. I. Elements
Carbon (C)
Hydrogen (H)
Oxygen (O)

3. II. Building Blocks (Monomers)
Monosaccharide
Mono= 1
Saccharide= Sugar
Ex. Glucose and Fructose

4. III. Functions A. Main/first source of energy
B. Makes up structures in some organisms

5. IV. Types Monosaccharide (1 sugar molecule)
Disaccharide (2 sugar molecules)
Polysaccharide (many sugar molecules)

6. Examples of Carbohydrate Molecules

7. -Fructose (fruit sugar)
VI. Monosaccharides
EX: Glucose C6H12O6
-Fructose (fruit sugar)
Glucose and Fructose often combine together to make the disaccharide sucrose.

8. B. Disaccharide What do you think the chemical formula is?
EX: Sucrose (table sugar)
C12H22O11
-EX: Lactose (milk sugar)

9. Polysaccharides Ex: STARCH=stored energy in plants
(ex. potatoes)
Ex: GLYCOGEN=stored energy in animals (muscle & liver cells)

10. How it gets into our bodies
From the foods we eat, like:
Bread
Sweets
Fruit (Apples, bananas, peppers, tomatoes)
Vegetables
Pasta
Potatoes
