(building blocks). compounds
Carbohydrate
• important as a source of energy and the basic
structure of some organisms.
• are organic compounds
• consisting of the elements carbon (C),
hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) in the ratio 1:2:1
• the chemical formula (CH2O)n.
• three main types of carbohydrates:
• monosaccharides (simple sugars)
• disaccharides
• polysaccharides (complex sugars)
a)monosaccharides
• carbohydrate monomers, which are the simplest carbohydrate
units.
• can combine to form polymers through a condensation reaction.
• Characteristics:
1. Most monosaccharides taste sweet,
2. can form crystals and
3. dissolve in water
a) monosaccharide
• Examples of monosaccharides:
i. Glucose:
• is a sugar found in plants such
as rice and wheat as well as
fruits such as grapes.
• the most commonly found
monosaccharide
• most polysaccharides are
formed from this sugar.
Carbohydrate
P1 - (In body cell), glucose is oxidized
P2 - To produce energy
P3 - By cellular respiration
L:1
F : Kondensasi
P1 : 1 molekul K (glukosa/fruktosa) bergabung dengan 1 molekul L
(fruktosa/glukosa).
P2 : Untuk membentuk 1 molekul sukrosa dan 1 molekul air.
P : Sucrose
X: Condensation
Y : Hydrolysis
P1: Fructose is a simple sugar (cannot be digested).
P2: P contains two of monosaccharide
P3: will be hydrolyzed into two molecules of simple
sugar
P1:( Help in) hydrolysis of Cellulose
P2: cellulose convert to glocose /smaller molecules
P3: glucose / small Molecules can be absorbed (by the
villus into the capillaries)
P1: Does not taste sweet,
P2: not soluble in water
P3: do not crystalised
