MD2

Most abundant organic molecule } Providing energy } Storage of energy } Cell membrane components for intercellular communication } Structural component (Bacteria, exoskeleton, fibrous cellulose)
}

Carbon } Hydrogen } Oxygen } Empirical formula for simple Carbohydrates (CH2O)n Hence the name Hydrates of Carbon
}

Divided in four chemical groups Monosaccharide Disaccharides Oligosaccharides Polysaccharides

Building blocks of Disaccharides Glucose Fructose Galactose

Contain two monosaccharide units } Sucrose } Lactose } Maltose


}

Contain 3 to 12 monosaccharide's } Commonly on plasma membrane of Animal } Play role in cell-recognition } Fruto- Oligosaccharides } Galacto-oligosaccharides
}

Contain more than 12 monosaccharide and can be 100 of sugar units in length } Monomers unit jointed by glucosidic bond } Commonly source of energy
}

Type of covalent bond thats joints a carbohydrates (sugar) Molecule to another group } Create larger structure
}

Same chemical formula but different structure Called isomers } Fructose, glucose, galactose } C6H12O6 } If two monosaccharide's differ in configuration only one specific carbon atom are called Epimers } Glucose and galactose
}

Mouth & Intestinal Lumen } Duodenum & jejunum } Enzymes } Amylase & Amylopectin } Pancreatic Enzymes } Intestinal mucosal cell
}

Disaccharide intolerance -Brush Border of enzymes Lost } Lactose intolerance -Metabolize lactose } Isomaltase-sucrease deficiency -Ingested Sucrose
