BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are classified according to size and solubility in water. Because monosaccharides are joined to form the molecules of the other two groups, they are the structural unit, or monomer, of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -How are carbohydrates classified? They can be classified according to size and solubility as a monosaccharide (one sugar), disaccharide (two sugars), or polysaccharides (many sugars).

Detailed explanation-3: -Polysaccharides– Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are examples of polysaccharides.

Detailed explanation-4: -The carbohydrates are classified on the basis of: A. Sugars and Non-sugars: Sugars are crystalline, sweet to taste, and water-soluble. Non-sugars are amorphous, tasteless, and water-insoluble.

Detailed explanation-5: -Carbohydrates are classified on the basis of their behaviour on hydrolysis and also as reducing or non-reducing sugar.
