carbohydrates form these kinds of bonds
Forms covalent bonds, single or double
Means sugar
Saccharides
Simplest kind of carbohydrate, ONE SUGAR
Monosaccharide
MORE THAN 1 SUGAR
Polysaccharide
From carbon to carbon, consist of a covalent bond. It is impossible to break down, even with the hydrolysis.
Carbon (backbone)
Usually clockwise count for carbon
Linear
Carbonyl group on the TERMINAL END
ALDOSE
Carbonyl group in the middle
KETOSE
Naming sugars
6-carbon sugars
Hexose
Naming sugars
9-carbon sugars
Nanose
Naming sugars
5-carbon sugars
Pentose
Serve as raw material for synthesis of other types of small organic materials
Carbon skeletons
5 major kinds of Monosaccharide (GFGRD)
Glucose, Fructose, Galactose, Ribose, Deoxyribose
