Classification of carbohydrates starts from the simplest monosaccharides. They can be represented by the empirical formula of (C - H2O)n. 'n' denotes the number of carbon atoms. If a monosaccharide...
They are sources of energyThey can be converted into large molecules which can either be stored (glycogen and starch) or used as structural material (cellulose)
Absolutely not. Monosaccharides exist on the molecular level - molecules like glucose, fructose, and galactose. Ham is a piece of meat. The distinction is pretty clear.
