Concept of Biomolecules

Biomolecules are the complex lifeless organic substances. These build up living organisms and are required for their growth and maintenance. Carbohydrates, proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, etc., are the examples of biomolecules. Vitamins and mineral salts also play an important role in functions of organisms.

Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or compounds which produce such units on hydrolysis.

Classification of Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates are also known as saccharides and classified according to their behaviour towards hydrolysis.
