In this eLearning module, you will learn about Carbohydrates, Carbohydrates are the most abundant biomolecules on earth. Oxidation of carbohydrates is the central energy-yielding pathway in most non-photosynthetic cells. Carbohydrates are one of the three macronutrients in the human diet, along with protein and fat.
MODULE 2: CHEMISTRY OF CARBOHYDRATES II

In this eLearning module, you will learn about Stereoisomerism, Reference carbon atom of sugar, Anomers, Epimers, Cyclization of glucose, Reactions of Monosaccharides, Benedicts reaction, Osazone Formation, oxidation of sugars, D-Glucosazone, Amino sugars, Glucosamine, Deoxy sugars. Stereoisomers are isomers that have the same composition but that differ in the orientation of those parts in space. Sugars containing four carbon atoms have two asymmetrical centres; hence, there are four possible isomers. Except for the trioses, sugars exist primarily in cyclic conformations. Benedict's Test is a chemical analytical method used for the detection of reducing sugar in a solution. The oxidation of sugars provides energy in cellular respiration.

In this eLearning module, you will learn about Oligosaccharides & Polysaccharides. Oligosaccharides and polysaccharides are carbohydrates. Both oligosaccharides and polysaccharides are made of simple sugar molecules called monosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are short chains of sugars strung together to make molecules with new functions. Polysaccharides are simply larger chains of sugars than oligosaccharides.
