Carbohydrates Disaccharides Monosaccharides

Carbohydrates are literally hydrates of carbon, containing only the elements carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. In the human diet, they are considered macronutrients, along with proteins and fats (triacylglycerols). The three types of carbohydrates are monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides.

Carbohydrates generally supply about 45% of our energy requirement. Dietary carbohydrates include monosaccharides (such as glucose and fructose), disaccharides (such as sucrose and lactose), and the longermonosaccharide units arc classed as oligosaccharides.) Dietary polysaccharides include starches, such as amyJose and amylopectin, and some of the dietary fibers. 

Classify the following carbohydrates into monosaccharides, disaccharides, or polysaccharides cellulose, glucose, lactose, starch, maltose, sucrose, chitin, and fructose.

Sugars Common carbohydrates are monosaccharides (glucose, fructose), disaccharides (sucrose, maltose, lactose), trisaccharides (raffinose), and polysaccharides (starch). HPLC offers a direct, quantitative method for simple sugars, which requires a specialty cationic resin-based column and refractive index or evaporative light scattering detection.7,8 UV detection at low wavelengths (195 nm) can be used but is more prone to interferences.8... 

The second most abundant polymer on Earth is chitin. Chitin comprises much of the exoskeletons of crustaceans, insects, and spiders, as well as the cell walls of fungi. Structurally, chitin is very similar to cellulose, except that its basic monosaccharide is N-acetylglucosamine. Chitin, like cellulose, has its repeating units joined in j8(1 4) linkages, see also Carbohydrates Disaccharides. 

What are carbohydrates, and what are the monomers in carbohydrates The monosaccharides in Table 22.8 are all optically active. Explain. What is a disaccharide Which monosaccharide units make up the disaccharide sucrose What do you call the bond that forms between the monosaccharide units What forces are responsible for the solubility of starch in water What is the difference between starch, cellulose, and glycogen ...

Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates they are the unit building bloeks for other, more eomplex carbohydrates. Disaccharides are simple earbohydrates that contain two monosaccharide units, which can be hydrolyzed into their respective monosaccharide units. Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates composed of many monosaccharide units (glucose, for example) linked together.
