Common disaccharides are the grain sugar maltose, made of two glucose molecules; the milk sugar lactose, made of one galactose and one glucose molecule; and the table sugar sucrose, made of one glucose and one fructose molecule.

They contain a chain of carbons, an aldehyde or a ketone, and hydroxyl groups. Every carbon atom is attached to one oxygen atom. There are thousands of different carbohydrates, but they all consist of one or more smaller units called monosaccharides.

It explains polysaccharides, including starch (energy storage in plants), glycogen (energy in animals), and cellulose (structural component of plants). Starch, found in foods like corn and potatoes, is comprised of glucose and can be broken down for energy, while cellulose is largely indigestible but crucial in various plant materials.

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use energy from sunlight to synthesize carbohydrates. A monosaccharide is the simplest carbohydrate and cannot be hydrolyzed to produce a smaller carbohydrate molecule. Disaccharides contain two monosaccharide units, and polysaccharides contain many monosaccharide units.

Rice, potatoes, bread, and fruit are rich in carbohydrates. These biomolecules contain several alcohol groups and an aldehyde or ketone functional group. The simplest type of carbohydrates, monosaccharides, consists of a single sugar molecule. The monosaccharide glucose is the principal entry point into metabolic pathways for energy production, but we often do not ingest glucose in our food. In this chapter, we will discuss what carbohyd
