From sugars to larger carbohydrates

Flow diagram showing glucose monosaccharides joining by condensation to form a disaccharide and polysaccharide, and hydrolysis using water to break glycosidic bonds Carbohydrates are organic molecules made from carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, often with the approximate empirical formula $CH2O\mathrm{CH_2O}$ . Their smallest building blocks are monosaccharides such as glucose, fructose and galactose.

Carbohydrates and energy balance

Step-by-step lessons covering Edexcel A A Level Biology Carbohydrates and energy balance for A Level Biology. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Paper 1, Paper 2 and Paper 3 format. Build a strong foundation in cell biology and biochemistry early on, since later topics on genetics, ecology and physiology all draw on these core concepts.
