Step 1: Carbohydrates and their types

Carbohydrates serve as vital macronutrients, supplying the body's primary energy source. These compounds, composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, can be classified into various categories:

  1. Monosaccharides: The most basic carbohydrates consist of individual sugar molecules, including glucose, fructose, and galactose.

  2. Disaccharides: These carbohydrates form when two monosaccharide units combine. Examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose).

  3. Oligosaccharides: This category encompasses carbohydrates with a small number of monosaccharide units, typically ranging from 3 to 10.

  4. Polysaccharides: Complex carbohydrates are formed from multiple monosaccharide units. Notable examples include starch, glycogen, and cellulose.
