Biomolecules

Biomolecules are essential organic compounds in living organisms, including proteins and carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are classified into monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides based on molecular size, with examples such as glucose and starch. Proteins, made of amino acids, are categorized into fibrous and globular types, serving various functions like catalysis and structural support.

Biomolecules © Biomolecules : Biomolecules are. the naturally occurring organic compounds present as essential constituents of living organism in different cells. e.g., proteins, carbohydrates etc. © Carbohydrates : Carbohydrates may be defined as optically active polyhydroxy aldehydes or ketones or compound which produce such units on hydrolysis. e.g, cellulose, glycogen, starch etc. ‘© Classification of carbohydrates : On the basis of molecular size, carbohydrates have been classified into following four types (0) Monosaccharides : Monosaccharides include non hydrolysable crbohydrates. They are soluble in water. ‘Those containing aldehydic group are called aldoses while other containing a ketonic group aze called etoses. Some monosaccharides with example ae given in the table as shown below : ‘Aidotiove | GH,0, | CHOHCHOH.CHO.

(ii) Otigosaccharides : Those carbohydrates which yield 2 lo 10 monosaccharides molecules on hydrolysis are called oligosaccharides. eg, raffinase on hydrolysis gives glucose, fructose and galactose, (iv) Polysaccharides: Those carbohydrates which produce large number of monosaccharide units on hjdzol ysis are called polysaccharides.
