CARBOHYDRATES
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates / Saccharides / Sugars
Water, carbon dioxide, light and chlorophyll in green
plants:
n CO2 + n H2O
Cn(H2O)n + n O2
Empirical formula = CH2O
Classification of Carbohydrates
C5 : pentoses - ribose, arabinose
C6 : hexoses - fructose, glucose
Can be either an aldose (aldehyde + alcohols) or
ketose (ketone + alcohols)
Classification of Carbohydrates
monosaccharide
disaccharide
oligosaccharide
polysaccharide
Monosaccharide
is a fundamental unit and is not cleaved to a simpler
carbohydrate on hydrolysis
glucose, for example, is a monosaccharide
C6H12O6
Disaccharide
Disaccharide
is cleaved to two monosaccharides on hydrolysis
these two monosaccharides may be the
same or different

Classes of Carbohydrates
oligosaccharide:
No. of carbons
gives three or more monosaccharide units on
hydrolysis
polysaccharide:
yields more than 10 monosaccharide units
