Question: Describe classification of carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates can be classified into monosaccharides (single sugar units), disaccharides (two sugar units), oligosaccharides (small chains of sugar units), and polysaccharides (long chains of sugar units). Polysaccharides can further be categorized into starch (plant storage), glycogen (animal storage), cellulose (plant cell walls), and chitin (arthropod exoskeletons). Carbohydrates also have functional roles, such as glycoproteins and glycolipids involved in cell signaling.
