Carbohydrates 
Saranya S Nair-112
 A carbohydrate is a large biological molecule, 
or macromolecule, consisting of 
carbon (C), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O) 
atoms, usually with a 
hydrogen:oxygen atom ratio of 2:1
I 
Carbohydrates (glycans) have the 
following basic composition: 
(CH2O)n or H - C - OH 
I 
 Monosaccharides - simple sugars with multiple 
OH groups. Based on number of carbons (3, 
4, 5, 6), a monosaccharide is a triose, tetrose, 
pentose or hexose. 
 Disaccharides - 2 monosaccharides covalently 
linked. 
 Oligosaccharides - a few monosaccharides 
covalently linked. 
 Polysaccharides - polymers consisting of 
chains of monosaccharide or disaccharide 
units.
MONOSACCHARAIDES 
 Monosaccharide's are the most 
basic units of carbohydrates. 
They are the simplest form of sugar 
and are usually colourless, water-soluble, 
crystalline solids. Some 
monosaccharide's have a 
sweet taste 
 Cannot be broken down 
to simple sugars
OLIGOSACCHARIDE 
 An oligosaccharide is 
a saccharide polymer containing a small 
number (typically three to nine) of simple sugars 
(monosaccharides)
POLYSACCHARIDES 
 Polysaccharides are polymeric carbohydrate mole 
-cules composed of long chains 
of monosaccharide units bound together 
by glycosidic linkages and on hydrolysis give the 
constituent monosaccharide's or oligosaccharides
