  • Carbohydrates
    Most abudant class of organic compounds found in living things
  • Carbohydrates
    act as energy source
  • Glucose
    Blood sugar that's main source of your body cell, tissues and organs
  • Macromolecules
    gives us energy, helps our body to become strong and healthier
  • Monosaccharides, Disaccharides, Polysaccharides
    3 classifications of Carbohydrates
  • Monosaccharides
    basic form of carbohydrates and simplest sugar
  • Hydrolysis
    reverse of the condensation in which glycosidic linkage is broken sucrose will break down to glucose and fructose
  • Glucose and fructose
    basic of monosaccharides
  • Aldehyde
    contain carbonyl group it's attached to a carbon atom
  • Ketone
    attached to carbon chain
  • True
    True or false: Monosaccharide can be triose
  • Disaccharides
    it's classification of carbohydrates that has double sugar and form when 2 monosaccharides joined glycosidic bond
  • Glycosidic bond
    A covalent bond that joins the hemiacetal group of a saccharide molecule and the hydroxyl group of some organic compound
  • Polysaccharides
    most abundant carbohydrates found in food
  • Sucrose
    Glucose + Fructose = ?
  • Lactose
    Glucose + Galactose
