1.      Linkage in structures

2.      Alcholoic products of carbohydrates

·         SEQs:

1.      Classification of Carbohydrates

2.      Linkages between different classes of carbs.

3.      Structures as such no need to cram just do differences between structures of same class. For example, cellulose and hemicellulose, sucrose and lactose.

4.      But you should learn basic structures like glucose and fructose in straight chain, cyclic form, chair and boat form etc.

5.      Isomerism, Mutarotaion and Epimerism with examples.
