Definition Carbohydrates are Carbohydrate: hydrated carbon, carbon plus water polyhydroxy aldehydes and CH ketones which have chemical formulae which or resemble hydrated carbons hence the ChO) name carbohydrate. All of the common sugars found in a better definition: living systems contain either a Polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones free aldehyde or ketone
Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones which have chemical formulae which resemble hydrated carbons, hence the name carbohydrate. All of the common sugars found in living systems contain either a free or potentially free aldehyde or ketone
The term carbohydrate derives from the fact that many of them have a formula that can be simplified to( CH20)n. Some of these compounds are chemically modified, however, and do not fit the formula due to the modification

Saccharides Saccharide is another name for a carbohydrate Simple saccharides are the monosaccharides, commonly called sugars. Glucose is an example of a monosaccharide. We use terms monosaccharide, oligosaccharide or polysaccharide to refer to compounds composed of a single sugar, several sugars linked together, or many sugars linked together, respectively

Saccharides play a variety of roles in living organisms, including energy storage, structural roles(rna and dnA, cell wall, exoskeleton), and cell identity
