Carbohydrates include sugars, starches, and cellulose and are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. They can be divided into monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides like glucose are single sugars, disaccharides like sucrose are double sugars formed from two monosaccharides, and polysaccharides like starch are polymers made of many glucose molecules. Starch is the main storage carbohydrate in plants and is made of amylose, a single spiral chain of glucose, and amylopectin, branched chains of glucose. Glycogen serves the same function in animals and has a similar structure to amylopectin. Cellulose forms plant cell walls and is made of straight chains of glucose
