5. Carbohydrates

Question 1

Carbohydrates / Saccharides

Answer 1

Most monosaccharides have a chemical formula of (CH₂O)n Example: Glucose is C₆H₁₂O₆

Carbohydrates are transportable or storable forms of energy source

Ex : Transportable - glucose

Storable - glycogen, starch

Some carbohydrates function as structural molecules. Example : Vegetable fiber is cellulose

Question 2
