Chapter 25 Carbohydrates. 25.1 Classification of Carbohydrates. Classification of Carbohydrates. monosaccharide disaccharide oligosaccharide polysaccharide. Monosaccharide. is not cleaved to a simpler carbohydrate on hydrolysis glucose, for example, is a monosaccharide.
E N D
Classification of Carbohydrates • monosaccharide • disaccharide • oligosaccharide • polysaccharide
Monosaccharide • is not cleaved to a simpler carbohydrate on hydrolysis • glucose, for example, is a monosaccharide
C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 glucose(a monosaccharide) fructose(a monosaccharide) Disaccharide • is cleaved to two monosaccharides on hydrolysis • these two monosaccharides may be the same or different C12H22O11 + H2O sucrose(a disaccharide)
Higher Saccharides • oligosaccharide: • gives two or more monosaccharide units on hydrolysis is homogeneous—all molecules of a particular oligosaccharide are the same, including chain length • polysaccharide: • yields "many" monosaccharide units on hydrolysis mixtures of the same polysaccharide differing only in chain length

The Aldopentoses • There are 8 aldopentoses. • Four belong to the D-series; four belong to the L-series. • Their names are ribose, arabinose, xylose, and lyxose.
