Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are A major source of energy from our diet. Composed of the elements C, H, and O. Also called saccharides, which means sugars.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates Are produced by photosynthesis in plants. Such as glucose are synthesized in plants from CO2, H2O, and energy from the sun. Are oxidized in living cells (respiration) to produce CO2, H2O, and energy.
Carbohydrates
Carbohydrate: A polyhydroxyaldehyde, a polyhydroxyketone, or a compound that gives either of these compounds after hydrolysis. Disaccharides, which consist of two monosaccharides. Monosaccharide: A carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed to a simpler carbohydrate. They have the general formula CnH2nOn, where n varies from 3 to 8. Aldose: a monosaccharide containing an aldehyde group. Ketose: a monosaccharide containing a ketone group.
Types of Carbohydrates
The types of carbohydrates are
Monosaccharides
Monosaccharides consist of 3 to 6 carbon atoms, typically. A carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone). Several hydroxyl groups.
Aldoses
Aldoses are monosaccharides With an aldehyde group. With many hydroxyl (OH) groups. triose (3 C atoms) tetrose (4 C atoms) pentose (5 C atoms) hexose (6 C atoms) O CH aldose H COH H COH CH2OH Erythose, an aldotetrose

Ketoses
Ketoses are monosaccharides With a ketone group. With many hydroxyl (OH) groups. triose (3 C atoms) tetrose (4 C atoms) pentose (5 C atoms) hexose (6 C atoms)

Fischer Projections
A Fischer projection Is used to represent carbohydrates. Places the most oxidized group at the top. Shows chiral carbons as the intersection of vertical and horizontal lines.
12
D and L Notations
In a Fischer projection, the OH group on the Chiral carbon farthest from the carbonyl group determines an L or D isomer. Left is assigned the letter L for the L-isomer. Right is assigned the letter D for the D-isomer.

Disaccharides
34
Important Disaccharides
A disaccharide Consists of two monosaccharides. Monosaccharides Disaccharide Glucose + glucose maltose + H2O Glucose + galactose lactose + H2O Glucose + fructose sucrose + H2O
35
Maltose
Maltose is A disaccharide also known as malt sugar. Composed of two D-glucose molecules. Obtained from the hydrolysis of starch. Linked by an -1,4-glycosidic bond formed from the OH on C1 of the first glucose and OH on C4 of the second glucose. Used in cereals, candies, and brewing. Found in both the - and - forms.

Background Information
Aldoses are easily oxidized to carboxylic acids by: Tollens' reagent (Ag+, NH3), Fehling's reagent (Cu2+, sodium tartrate), Benedict`s reagent (Cu2+ sodium citrate) Oxidations generate metal mirrors; serve as tests for reducing sugars (produce metallic mirrors)
