The PowerPoint presentation titled "Structure of Monosaccharides" provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental components of carbohydrates. It delves into monosaccharides, the simplest form of carbohydrates, highlighting their molecular formula (CH2O)n, structural isomerism, and classificat...

The biomolecule group, carbohydrates,
primarily provide energy (due to their
role in respiration). They are a category
of organic compounds (due to presence
of carbon), and are made of carbon
(carbo-), hydrogen (hydr-) and oxygen
(ate-).
Carbohydrates always have the ratio
(CH2O)n, for example with glucose
(C6H12O6).

Whilst some, like cellulose (cell Monomers of carbohydrates
wall structure) and starch are called monosaccharides
(insoluble and stored) and
common polymers, we will start
with the monomer versions of
carbohydrates.
These will namely include:
Glucose
Fructose
Galactose
