Chapter 6 integrates the functional groups alcohol, aldehyde, and ketone into the context of
carbohydrates to illustrate relevant structure, bonding, and chirality. Students are introduced to
Fischer projections and diastereomers using carbohydrates as examples. Several of the reactions
formation reactions and leads to a consideration of the Haworth projections. Glycoside formation
disaccharides. The chapter continues with some important polysaccharides and concludes with
treatment of relevant blood carbohydrates, the ABO blood groups, and heparin.

6.39 An oligosaccharide is smaller, containing between three and nine monosaccharide units,
while a polysaccharide contains 10 or more monosaccharide units.
6.41 Soluble fibers mix with water and form a gel-like substance that gives a feeling of
fullness when eaten.
6.42 Insoluble fibers are dietary carbohydrates that do not dissolve in water and move through
the digestive tract unchanged. Insoluble fiber is important for a healthy digestive tract.
