karbohydraatgroepen
Karbohydraatgroepen, also known as carbohydrate classifications, refer to the ways in which carbohydrates are categorized based on their molecular structure. The most fundamental classification divides carbohydrates into monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates, consisting of a single sugar unit. Examples include glucose, fructose, and
Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharide units are joined together by a glycosidic bond. Common disaccharides
Oligosaccharides are composed of a short chain of monosaccharide units, typically between three and ten. They
Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of long chains of monosaccharide units. They can be linear
