|sucrose

(table sugar)

disaccharide

Disaccharides

– sucrose = glucose & fructose– maltose = glucose & glucose– lactose = glucose & galactose (lactose

intolerance)

Two simple sugars condensed by dehydration synthesis

Disaccharide

Maltose is two glucose molecules; forms in digestive tract of humans during starch digestion.  

Polysaccharides

– Cellulose (a structural component of plants)

– Starch (main energy reserve in plants)

– Glycogen (energy reserve in animals)

Many monosaccharides condensed by dehydration synthesis

Polysaccharide

Starch is straight chain of glucose molecules with few side branches.

Types of Carbs

Starch vs. Cellulose
