Carbohydrates :)

In boring terms, a carbohydrate is an organic compound Cm(H20)n, made of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. In easier and more understanding terms, carbohydrates are what gives our bodies energy.  In our lab we tested many different things such as honey, all the way to lactose powder.  I learned that when a disaccharide is mixed with Benedict's solution it does not change in color, when a monosaccharide is combined with Benedict's solution it turns an orange color, and when a polysaccharide is mixed with Benedict's solution, the ending result is a dark, thick substance.  Attached is a concept map of other things I have learned throughout the lesson.
