Carbohydrates
In this lesson you will study carbohydrates, one of the prime energy
sources of living things. You will look at the general characteristics of
carbohydrates including their structure and functions. You will look at their role in the metabolic
energy cycle, from the production of glucose in photosynthesis through the
