Carbohydrates are essential biomolecules consisting of monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides, with glucose serving as a fundamental building block.
• The strukturformel von glucose traubenzucker shows its characteristic aldehyde group and five hydroxyl groups
• Understanding the unterschied zwischen aldosen und ketosen is crucial for differentiating sugar types based on their functional groups
• The glykosidische bindung in kohlenhydraten enables the formation of complex carbohydrate structures
• Carbohydrates serve multiple biological functions including energy storage and structural support
• Different forms of sugars can be identified through specific chemical tests like the Fehling's test
