Classes of Carbohydrates<br />
There are three classes of carbohydrates. The<br />
number of sugar units (saccharides) in the<br />
molecule determines which class the<br />
carbohydrate belongs <strong>to</strong>.<br />
1. Monosaccharides: Made up of only one<br />
sugar unit.<br />
2. Disaccharides: Made up of two sugar<br />
molecules bonded <strong>to</strong>gether.<br />
3. Polysaccharides: Made up of at least 3 sugar<br />
molecules bonded <strong>to</strong>gether.
