Carbohydrates are used to provide or store energy, among other uses. Like most biochemical compounds, carbohydrates are built of small repeating units, or monomers, which form bonds with each other to make larger molecules, called polymers. In the case of carbohydrates, the small repeating units are known as monosaccharides.

Carbohydrates provide energy to the body, particularly through glucose, a simple sugar that is a component of starch and an ingredient in many staple foods. Carbohydrates also have other important functions in humans, animals, and plants.

It discusses the classification into homopolysaccharides (e.g., starch, glycogen, cellulose) and heteropolysaccharides (e.g., glycosaminoglycans), emphasizing the impact of glycosidic linkages on structure and function. Key polysaccharides like amylose, chitin, and peptidoglycan are examined in terms of biological significance.

Combined, these molecules make up the majority of a cell’s mass. Biological macromolecules are organic, meaning that they contain carbon (with some exceptions, like carbon dioxide).
