Define carbohydrates types of carbohydrates ? and also define how these are beneficial for us?

Pribciple of cabohydrates is these are sourse of energy.

These are made of C+H+O

Types of cabohydrates:-

1. Monosacharides:- These are sweet in taste

2. Polysacharides:- These are not sweet in taste

Glucose or Hexose- C6H12O6

Pantose suger has 5 carbon atoms.

1 Ribose RNA

2 Deoxiribose DNA

Monosacharides:- No. of carbon atoms 2-7

  • Glucose - Cotton
  • Fractose- Found in Honey
  • Galactose - Found in Milk                                                                                                                             

Disacharides:- Two sacharides Unit

  • Glucose + Glucose = Maltose ( found in germinating seed)
  • Glucose + Fructose = Sucrose (found in beet suger)
  • Glucose + Galactose = Lactosse ( Milk suger)                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        Polyscharides:- 
  • Human can not digest it                                                                                                                              These  are found in;
  • Cellulose( plants): It is plant specific. Human can't digest it. it provides fibers they help to keep clean digestive system.
  • Starch:-  Storage molecules in Plant . cellulose provides the strength  to plant.
  • Glycogen:- storage into human body and animal. it stores in liver in form of glucose.
  • Chitin :- It is found in insect. This is imprmeable to water.
  •  Glycosidic:- It means bound between tso glucose unit joined is called Glycosidic bond.                                       Glucose------------------\[\blacktriangledown \]-------------------Glucose                                                                                                                           Glycosidic bond
