I've learned that the building blocks of carbohydrates is monosaccharide. I also learned on how to define carbohydrate with an ending of -ose. And the three groups of it...
To make simplier to explain this lesson, first I will define the carbohydrate which means " sweet sugar, "for example, foods such as white rice, bread, starchy vegetables, and so on..It is our source of energy and it is divided into three groups: monosaccharide, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The monosaccharide is the most basic unit of carbohydrate.It is classified based on the placement of carbonyl group: Aldose and Ketose. Aldose if it is COOH and Ketose if it is CH2OH. D-glucose if HO is in the right and H is in the left at the second to the last carbon. L-glucose,vice versa. The disaccharide is the combination of two monosaccharide and polysaccharide is composed of many monosaccharide...
Our teacher explains it very well but he haven't finish or continued on how to combined the wo monosaccharide using the lines( straight, up-down, down-up)..=D
