- Glucose is a hexose sugar with 6 carbon atoms and is soluble in water, making it hydrophilic
- Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides bond together
- Amylopectin is a polymer of alpha glucose molecules and is insoluble in water
- Polysaccharides include starch made up of alpha glucose molecules and cellulose which is a polymer of beta glucose
- Carbohydrates have different structures, including monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides are hydrophilic and can affect water potential
