Carbohydrate Definition

A type of organic compound that is essential for living organisms, containing carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in a specific ratio.

Carbohydrate Structure

Carbohydrates are composed of simple sugars called monosaccharides that can be joined together to form more complex structures.

Glucose

A simple sugar molecule with the formula C6H12O6. Glucose provides energy to the body.

Fructose

A simple sugar molecule with the formula C6H12O6. Fructose is the sweetest sugar naturally.

Galactose

A simple sugar molecule with the formula C6H12O6. Galactose is part of lactose (milk sugar).

Carbohydrate classification

Carbohydrates are classified based on the complexity of their structure. Monosaccharides are the simplest form and cannot be broken down further, while disaccharides are formed by the combination of two monosaccharides, and polysaccharides are large chains of monosaccharide units.

What are monosaccharides?

Monosaccharides are simple sugars that serve as the building blocks for more complex carbohydrates. They cannot be broken down into simpler sugars. Examples include glucose, fructose, and galactose, all with the formula C6H12O6.

How are disaccharides formed?

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are joined together. The most common examples are sucrose (table sugar), lactose (milk sugar), and maltose (found in grains).

What are polysaccharides?

Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of long chains of monosaccharide units linked together. They serve as energy storage molecules (like starch and glycogen) or structural components (like cellulose).

What is glycogen?

Glycogen is the storage form of glucose in animals, primarily in the liver and muscles. When blood glucose levels are low, glycogen is broken down to release glucose for energy.

Study Notes

Carbohydrate Chemistry - Lecture Notes

  • This lecture covers carbohydrate chemistry, specifically focusing on the structure and function of carbohydrates.
  • The academic year is 2024-2025, semester 1, and the module is Human Body Function (HBF-102). The course is taught by Professor Dr. Mohamed I. Kotb and Dr. Ahmed M. A. Akabawy at Helwan National University.
  • Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules in nature.
  • Carbohydrates include monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
  • Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates, that cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler units.
  • They are classified by the number of carbon atoms (triose, tetrose, pentose, hexose, etc.) and whether they have an aldehyde or ketone group.  Examples include glucose, fructose, and ribose.
  • Glucose is an important source of energy in mammals.
  • Fructose and galactose are other important monosaccharides.
  • Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides are linked through glycosidic bonds.  Examples include lactose (milk sugar) and sucrose.
  • Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides, used for energy storage (e.g., glycogen in animals) and structural support (e.g., cellulose in plants).
  • Carbohydrates are essential components of cell membranes and play important roles in DNA, RNA, and various other molecules.
  • Carbohydrates are also crucial parts of various biological processes, including energy production and storage, and forming structures such as plant cell walls and animal tissues.

Objectives

  • Define carbohydrates and their biological importance.
  • Classify carbohydrates.
  • Define, classify, and describe the structural composition of monosaccharides.
  • Describe the biological importance of monosaccharides (Energy source, structural components, components of DNA and RNA, and part of different drugs).
  • Define isomerism and mention various forms with examples.
  • List monosaccharide derivatives.

Introduction

  • The four major classes of biomolecules are carbohydrates, proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
  • The lecture focuses on carbohydrates, illustrating that they are composed of carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O).
  • The general formula is [C(H₂O)]n, emphasizing that carbohydrates are often called "hydrates of carbon"
  • The diagram in the slides illustrates how carbohydrates are a type of biomolecule.

Classification of Carbohydrates

  • Monosaccharides: simplest form, cannot be broken down further. Classified by the number of carbon atoms.
  • Disaccharides: two monosaccharides joined.
  • Oligosaccharides: 3-10 monosaccharides joined.
  • Polysaccharides: many monosaccharides joined.  

Classification of Monosaccharides

  • Classified by the number of carbons and whether they are aldoses or ketoses.

Monosaccharides: Structure

  • D-glucose is a crucial natural monosaccharide.
  • D- glucose has a linear form and forms ring structures.
  • Illustrates different forms of glucose, including open-chain and ring structures.

Biological Importance of Monosaccharides

  • Glucose is the main source of energy for mammals.
  • Fructose is another important energy source, particularly for sperm.
  • Galactose is involved in lactose (milk sugar). 

Isomerism

  • Isomers are compounds with the same molecular formula but different structures.

Types of Isomerism

  • Structural isomerism: Different bonding arrangements of atoms.
  • Stereoisomerism: Same bonding arrangement of atoms but different spatial orientation.
