2  Carbohydrates-are an organic compound made up of sugar molecules › Sugars contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen

3  Simple sugars that contain just one sugar unit › Examples:  Glucose (Honey)  Fructose ( fruit sugar )  Galactose (comes from the Ancient Greek word for milk ) Ancient Greekmilk

4  Using the dehydration reaction cells construct this process, double sugar › Example:  Sucrose-Plant Sap and Table Sugar

5  Long polymer chains made up of simple sugar monomers or complex carbohydrates › Example:  Starch-Potatoes, Rice, and Corn

6  Excess sugar in the form of polysaccharides › In humans, most glycogen is stored as granules in the liver and muscle cells

7  Some polysaccharides in plants, serve as building materials › Most animals (including people) can not digest cellulose, therefore _________ passes through our digestive system.
