CarbohydratesCarbohydrates
Carbohydrates play many important roles in biological Carbohydrates play many important roles in biological systems. They represent the major form of chemical systems. They represent the major form of chemical energy for both plants and animals. In plants they energy for both plants and animals. In plants they represent the end product of photosynthesis, and represent the end product of photosynthesis, and therefore connect all living systems to the sun’s therefore connect all living systems to the sun’s

Our discussion of carbohydrates will also introduce us to biopolymers, of carbohydrates will also introduce us to biopolymers, of which proteins and nucleic acids also belong. One of which proteins and nucleic acids also belong. One of
