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.

It details monosaccharides like glucose, galactose, and fructose, which combine into disaccharides like sucrose and lactose through glycosidic bonds. Carbohydrates are key energy sources in diets. Starch is formed in amylose (linear) and amylopectin (branched) forms, while cellulose serves a structural role in cell walls with its rigid fibrils.

Sugars have the general chemical formula CH₂O and can be joined together almost infinitely for storage. However, because they are hydrophilic, they allow water molecules to intercalate between them, and cannot pack as efficiently as fats, which are hydrophobic and thus exclude water. On the other hand, the sugars can be mobilized for use more quickly.

Girdling removes phloem, starving roots. The pressure-flow hypothesis details nutrient translocation aided by osmotic pressure differences and sugar accumulation in leaves, creating turgor pressure. It also mentions that mRNAs can be transferred through phloem, affecting phenotype in grafted plants.
