Study Notes
Carbohydrate Functions
- Carbohydrates function as energy sources, structural components, and signaling molecules in organisms.
Monosaccharide Classification
- The number of carbon atoms present in a monosaccharide is the basis for classification.
- Triose, Tetrose, Pentose, Hexose, and Heptose are classifications based on the number of carbons.
Incorrect Monosaccharide Classification
- There is no classification of monosaccharides based on the number of carbon atoms called Octose.
Lecture Objective
- The lecture aimed to provide an in-depth understanding of the chemical structure and properties of carbohydrates.
Dietary Role
- The primary role of carbohydrates in the diet is to provide energy for life processes.
