    This document provides a summary of carbohydrates including: 1. Carbohydrates are sugars that can be single molecules (monosaccharides) like glucose or linked together (polysaccharides) like starch. 2. Common monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose. Disaccharides form when two monosaccharides bond together like sucrose (glucose + fructose). 3. Carbohydrates serve important functions as an energy source, building blocks, and in molecular interactions through complex carbohydrates like glycoproteins on cell surfaces.
