Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates (Bread)

Carbohydrates are the most abundant class of the biological molecules. They tend to be composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and they have a ring-shaped structure. Monosaccharides ("one sugar") are single sugar molecules, such as fructose and glucose. There are also disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Their have energy-storage and structural functions. Bread is known to be high in monosaccharides, meaning it can be digested easily and can lead to weight gain due to its high sugar levels but low nutritional value.
