Carbohydrates are good source of energy. Carbohydrates (polysaccharides) are long chains of sugars. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that are composed of 3-7 carbon atoms. They have a free aldehyde or ketone group, which acts as reducing agents and are known as reducing sugars. Disaccharides are made of two monosaccharides. The bonds shared between two monosaccharides is the glycosidic bonds. Monosaccharides and disaccharides are sweet, crystalline and water soluble substances.Polysaccharides are polymers of monosaccharides. They are unsweet, and complex carbohydrates.They are insolu
