  1. Part of the organic biomolecules
    1. Functions
      1. Precursors
        1. Of certain lipids, amino acids, purines, pyramids & vitamins
        2. Structural
          1. Ex: cellulose in plants, bacterias & fungi
          2. Energy
            1. Ex: glycogen broken down
            2. Reserve
              1. Ex: glycogen
              2. Recognition Signals
                1. Involved in cell recognition
                  1. Ex: coagulation, hormone recognition
              3. Bonds
                1. Glycosidic Bond
                  1. -Covalent bond, joins a carbohydrate to another group, which may or may not be another carbohydrate
                2. Chemical reactions
                  1. Reduction
                    1. Produces sugar alcohol
