• Carbohydrates are the major source of energy for the body
• three subtypes of carbohydrates

  monosaccharides, disaccharides, polysaccharides
• Carbohydrates contain?

  hydrogen, oxygen, carbon
• Monosaccharides


  Is the simpliest sugar and the basic subunit of carbohydrates.
• common monosaccharides?

  Glucose, Fructose
• Glucose also called?

  dextrose
• Formula of monosac?

  C6H12O6
• Compounds with the same molecular formulas are called?

  isomers
• Fruit sugar?

  Fructose
• Found in all plants?

  Glucose
• Disaccharides


  are carbohydrates found in many foods and are often added as sweeteners
• common disac?

  lactose, Maltose, Sucrose
• Sucrose


  with a molecular formula of C12G22O11 also called table sugar
• two reaction of breakdown of sucrose and glucose?

  Condensation, Hydrolysis
• Condensation Reaction


  which two molecules or parts of the same molecule combine. Mono to Disac, one molecules of water is lost
• Maltose


  when two glucose combined this is formed
• Hydrolysis


  when bond between monosac is broken with the addition of water molecule
• Lactose 


  milk sugar consist galactose and glucose
• Polysaccharides


  large molecules that are made of many smaller units that are joined together.
• Polysacc examples?

  Starch, Glycogen, Cellulose
• Starch


  the chief storage form of carbo in plants and the most important source of carbo in human nutrition
• Starch made up of two types?

  amylose, amylopectin
• unit of heat energy?
