Document Summary

Carbohydrates can be represented by the stoichiometric formulan, where n is the number of carbons in the molecule. The ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen is 1:2:1 in carbohydrate molecules. The origin of the term carbohydrate is based on its components: carbon and water. Carbohydrates are classified into three subtypes: monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. In monosaccharides, the number of carbons usually ranges from three to seven. If the sugar has an aldehyde group, it is known as an aldose, and if it has a ketone groupr"), it is known as a ketose. Depending on the number of carbons in the sugar, they also may be known as trioses, pentoses, and or hexoses. Monosaccharides can exist as a linear chain or as ring- shaped molecules; in aqueous solutions they are usually found in ring forms. Monosaccharides are classified based on the position of their carbonyl group and the number of carbons in the backbone.
