NUTRIENTS

-
- It includes carbohydrates , fats and proteins.
-
CARBOHYDRATES
- Organic molecules made up of the elements carbon and oxygen, The hydrogen and oxygen atoms are present in the ratio 2;1
- Can be classified as single sugars , double sugars or complex carbohydrates
- Polysaccharides ( complex carbohydrates ) = starch , cellulose , glycogen
- sugars ( monosaccharides ( single sugars ) ) = glucose , fructose and galatacose
- Dissaccharides ( double sugars ) = maltose , sucrose , lactose
- Glucose = found in plants and animals , fructose = common in plants but rare in animals , galactose = present in milk sugars in mammals
- A condensation reaction is a chemical reaction in which two simple molecules are joined together to form a larger molecule with the removal of one molecule of water
- Hydrolysis or a hydrolytic reaction is a reaction in which a water molecule is needed to break up a complex molecule into smaller molecule
- Fats like carbohydrates are organic molecules made up of the elements carbon,hydrogen and oxygen. But unlike carbohydrates fats contain much less oxygen in proportion to hydrogen
- Proteins are organic molecules made up of the elements carbon,hydrogen,oxygen and nitrogen. Another element,sulfur may also be present
