Summary Introduction
To describe: The structure of simple sugars with three to six carbons.
Introduction: Carbohydrates are organic compounds which comprise of sugars as well as starches. Carbohydrates offer much of the energy that is needed for the cells. These molecules form the building blocks of various structures and are frequently stored in the form of reserve energy.
