Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are divided into four types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides consist of a simple sugar; that is, they have the chemical formula C6H12O6. Disaccharides are two simple sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates are divided into four major groups based on the degree of polymerization: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Detailed explanation-3: -Foods and drinks can have three types of carbohydrates: starches, sugars and fiber. The words “total carbohydrates” on a food’s nutrient label refers to a combination of all three types.
Detailed explanation-4: -Starch, glycogen, cellulose, and chitin are primary examples of polysaccharides. Starch is the stored form of sugars in plants and is made up of a mixture of amylose and amylopectin (both polymers of glucose).
Detailed explanation-5: -There are two major types of carbohydrates in food: sugar and starch. Sugars: Sugar is also called simple carbohydrate. Fruits, honey, and table sugar are some sources of sugar.
