This document provides an introduction to biomolecules, focusing on carbohydrates. It states that biomolecules contain carbon and are involved in maintenance and metabolism in living organisms. Carbohydrates are described as the most abundant organic molecules in nature, and include monosaccharides like glucose, disaccharides like sucrose, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides like starch and cellulose. Polysaccharides can be homopolysaccharides containing one type of monomer, or heteropolysaccharides containing multiple types. Storage polysaccharides provide energy, while structural polysaccharides give plants and animals strength and structure.
