Carbonhydrates intro+Monosaccharides
What is Carbohaydrate?
Carbohydrates are organic composites which contain C,H and O atoms.Green plants use thelight energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates.As a result, oxygen is released into atmosphere and light energy is transformed into chemical energy stored in carbohydrates.According to their molecular there are 3 kinds of carbohydrates.These are Monosaccharides,Disaccharides and Ploysaccharides.
Monosaccharides(simple sugars):according to their''C'' number if they are 5C they are Pentoses for example Ribose is a monosaccharide.If they are 6C they are called Hexoses for example Glucose,galactose and fructose.
Pentoses:They are in the structure of DNA ,RNA and ATP,Deoxyribose is a Sugar,Ribose is the sugar in RNA and ATP
Hexoses:They are the primary energy sources for cells.
