5. Definition
In organic chemistry, a carbohydrate is a
biomolecule consisting
of carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O)
atom.
The term is most common in Biochemistry,
where it is a synonym of saccharide.
5

6. Generalized Formula
The generalized formula of
carbohydrate is CnH2nOn
The ratio of hydrogen to oxygen
atom is 2:1
The suffix of carbohydrate is -ose

7. Classification
Carbohydrates are classified into three main
groups namely
Monosaccharides,
Oligosaccharide and
Polysaccharides.
7

8. Monosaccharide
Monosaccharides are the smallest
(lower molecular weight) carbohydrates, are
commonly referred to as sugars.
In Monosaccharides the carbon atom ranges
from 1 to 8.
The most common example is glucose whose
formula is C6H12O6
8

9. Oligosaccharides
In oligosaccharides the number of carbon
atoms ranges from 2-10
It is the combination of monosaccharides
The most example is Maltose and sucrose.

10. Polysaccharide
 It actually is the combination of long chain of
monosaccharides.
 Polysaccharide is further divided into two types
namely
Homopolysaccharide (combination of same
types of monosaccharides) e.g glycogen and
cellulose.
Heteropolysaccharide(combination of different
type of monosaccharides) e.g Peptidoglycans.

11. Sources
Carbohydrates are found in a wide area of
foods like bread, beans, milk, popcorn,
potatoes, cookies, spaghetti, soft drinks, corn,
and cherry pie.

12. Functions
Providing energy and regulation of blood
glucose.
Sparing the use of proteins for energy.
Breakdown of fatty acids and preventing
ketosis.
Biological recognition processes.
Flavor and Sweeteners.
Dietary fiber.
