1 Carbohydrate Outline ? Carbohydrates (structure and function) ? Levels of organization ? Monosaccharides e.g., glucose ? Disaccharides e.g., sucrose ? Polysaccharides e.g., starch, cellulose, glycogen ? Isomerism ? structural & stereoisomeris ? Roles in energy transfer, structural frameworks, storage 2 Objectives: At the end of this lesson you should be able to: ?Describe structure of carbohydrates: ? at different levels of organization ? monosaccharides (glucose), disaccharides ( sucrose) and polysaccharides (starch, cellulose, glycogen) ? different isomers ? structural (alpha, beta), optical (D and L) ?State the function of carbohydrates 3 Carbohydrates Etymology ?Name carbohydrate (?hydrate of
