The following points highlight the top three classifications of carbohydrates. The classifications are: 1. Monosaccharides 2. Disaccharides 3. Polysaccharides. Carbohydrates: Classification # 1. Monosaccharides: Trioses and Tetroses: Phosphates of the two trioses, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone, are formed from fructose-1, 6- diphosphate by glycolysis. 3-phosphoglyceraldehyde and erythrose-4- phosphate are formed by the hexose monophosphate shunt. Pentoses: […]
