Biomolecules that provide energy, carbon for synthesis, and stored energy.

The simplest form of carbohydrates; single sugar molecules.

Carbohydrates formed by two monosaccharides bonded together.

Long chains of ten or more monosaccharides linked together.

Recommended daily intake of carbohydrates is 225-325g.

Molecular formula is Cn(H2O)n, indicating a hydrate of carbon.

Monosaccharides tend to be sweet, with fructose being the sweetest.

Monosaccharides are extremely soluble in water due to many OH groups.

Specific monosaccharides include β-D-ribose, β-D-deoxyribose, and β-D-galactose.

A monosaccharide that forms the backbone of RNA.

A common monosaccharide important in energy metabolism.

Also known as fruit sugar, is sweeter than glucose.

A glucose polymer with α(1,4) glycosidic bonds.

A glucose polymer with α(1,4) bonds and branches via α(1,6) linkages.

Major carbohydrate storage in animals, similar to amylopectin but more branched.

A linear chain of glucose with β(1,4) glycosidic bonds; major part of plant structure.

Two molecules that initiate glycogen formation and branching.

The sweetest monosaccharide, found in honey and fruits.

A monosaccharide metabolized by the body for energy.

A disaccharide formed from glucose and fructose; common table sugar.

Disaccharide found in milk, composed of glucose and galactose.

Polysaccharide used to store glucose in plants, occurs in roots.
