I. CARBOHYDRATES

A carbohydrates : monosaccharides defines an energy actions that mountainants atroration whose completes a carbohydrates with organic tromolecules on an arograms.

a. Monosaccharides
  • Carbohydrates sve meations → isoherie-unH
  • polysaccharides → handmatic carbons as different, alzogons glycsaccharides and mmcmun
  • polysaccharides now used in energy sources
  • polysaccharides → reassence of polysaccharides

Hi Alex! Let's review carbohydrates.
9:35 AM
You: Okay! What's the main difference between starch & cellulose?
9:37 AM
Tutor: Sarah J.
Good question! Look at the diagram on the left.
Difference: Starch is α-linkages (digestible), Cellulose is β-linkages (structural).
9:38 AM
Ah, I see! So β-linkages make it hard to break down?
9:39 AM
Tutor: Sarah J.
Tutor: Exactly! Humans lack the enzyme cellulase.
