Different types of carbohydrates

Fructose: These apples - Malus domestica - are very high in fructose, a type of monosaccharide. They were found at a farmstand near 3341 Scotch Hollow Road, Newbury VT.


Lactose: This milk is high in lactose and comes from dairy cows - Bos primigenius. Lactose is a disaccharide made from to monosaccharides: galactose and glucose. This picture was taken at 24 Harvey Lane, Westborough MA.


Cellulose: This is a picture of black-eyed susans - Rudbeckia hirta - taken at a near by field 3341 Scotch Hollow Road, Newbury VT. Black-eyed susans contain cellulose, a polysaccharide found in many plants.


Starch: This is a picture of a potato taken at 24 Harvey Lane, Westborough MA. Potatos - Solanum tuberosum - are very high in starch, a polysaccharide made from glucose monomers.


Sucrose: This is a picture of table sugar which comes from sugarcane - Saccharum officinarum. It is a disaccharide made from two monosaccharides: fructose and glucose. This picture was taken at 24 Harvey Lane, Westborough MA.

Different Types of Carbohydrates

1. Fructose - This is an image of an apple found at 8 Sawmill Drive, Westborough, MA. This fruit is very high in fructose, a type of monosaccharide. The scientific name of this apple is Malus pumila. 2. Starch - The image below shows corn, a food that is high in starch. Starch is a polysaccharide composed of glucose monomers. The scientific name of corn is Zea mays. This image was taken at 8 Sawmill Drive, Westborough, MA.
3. Lactose - Milk is composed of the disaccharide lactose, a milk sugar composed of two monosaccharides, glucose and galactose. This milk comes from a dairy cow, which has the scientific name of Bos primigenius. This image was taken again at 8 Sawmill Drive, Westborough, MA.
4. Sucrose - The image below shows table sugar, in which the disaccharide sucrose is found. This disaccharide is made up of glucose and fructose monomers.
