- 'Carbohydrate' means 'hydrated carbon' because each carbon in a carbohydrate molecule has water attached to it
- Carbohydrates have the general formula Cx(H2O)n and include starch and sugars.

- 2 monosaccharides join with a condensation reaction to create a disaccharide. This process continues until you get a polysachharide.
