Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are defined as the compounds of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen that contain polyhydroxy aldehydes or polyhydroxy ketones, or compounds that can be hydrolyzed to them. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)n. Carbohydrates are classified into monosaccharides (cannot be hydrolyzed), oligosaccharides (made up of two to ten units of monosaccharides), and polysaccharides (hundreds or thousands of monosaccharides units are present).

 

Glucose

Glucose is a monosaccharide. The molecular formula of glucose is C6H12O6. Glucose is an aldohexose sugar, which means it contains six carbons and an aldehyde group. The structure of glucose can either be in an open chain or in a cyclic form.
