Study Notes
- Carbohydrates are composed of a chain of carbon atoms with a functional group at one end.
- Monosaccharides are made up of a single carbon atom with a functional group at one end.
- There are three types of monosaccharides: aldoses, ketoses, and epimers.
- D-Glucose is the most important naturally occurring aldose/monosaccharide.
- Monosaccharides participate in many reactions, including oxidation, reduction, dehydration, and formation of esters and glycosides.
- Glyceraldehyde (triose) is the simplest carbohydrate and is used as a reference to write the configuration of all other monosaccharides.
