What is Carbohydrates: Structure and Reactions about?
Carbohydrates are a class of organic biopolymers consisting of polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones. They include monosaccharides (single units), oligosaccharides (few units), and polysaccharides (larger polymers). Monosaccharides exist as both open-chain and cyclic structures, with cyclic forms predominating. Monosaccharides can link together via glycosidic bonds to form disaccharides like sucrose and lactose, as well as polysaccharides such as starch, cellulose, and glycogen.
