Carbohydrates contain

Carbon:Hydrogen: oxygen

What is the ratio for Hydrogen to Oxygen atoms

(how many Hydrogen atoms to each Oxygen atom)

• 2:1

• 1:2

• 3:1

What is the basic unit of the carbohydrate:

• Glucose

  Monosaccharide

• Sucrose

  Disaccharide

• Starch

  Polysaccharide

How is a complex sugar broken down into simpler sugars by the addition to water.

• Hydrolysis

• Dehydration

If you add water to Maltose a double sugar what is the product?

• Glucose + Glucose

• Glucose + Sucrose

• Starch + sucrose

If you take water out (dehydration) of simple sugars

Glucose + Glucose=

• Maltose + water

• Glucose + Glucose

• Starch + water
