Lesson 6 : Carbohydrates - Classification- Structure, Function

Carbohydrates are simple organic compounds that are aldehydes or ketones with many hydroxyl groups added, usually one on each carbon atom that is not part of the aldehyde or ketone functional group. The basic carbohydrate units are called monosaccharides; examples are glucose, galactose, and fructose. Carbohydrates are one of the main dietary components. This category of foods includes sugars, starches, and fiber.
