The carbohydrates are defined as

carbohydrates They are substances of universal occurrence and are much abundant in

Carbohydrates are grouped into two major
classes: simple sugars (saccharides) and polysaccharides

Low molecular weight carbohydrates.

The high molecular weight carbohydrates (polymers)

depending upon the chemical structure, saccharides are subdivided as monosaccharides, disaccharides and trisaccharides.

Monosaccharides are sugars, which _____ be further hydrolysed to simple sugars.

MONOSACCHARIDES they are classified according to the number of carbon atoms in sugar molecules.

All true except :

They are further divided into two types – aldoses and ketoses

important in the photosynthesis of plant and glucose metabolism of animals and are rarely found accumulated in plants.

By hydrolysis , with the elimination of water, polysaccharides are produced from monosaccharides.
