Chapter 5 introduces the significance of macromolecules in cellular evolution and function, with a focus on carbohydrates. Carbohydrates encompass monosaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides, characterized by their molecular formula (CH2O)n. While the name "carbohydrate" suggests a carbon-water bond, they consist of carbonyl (C=O) and hydroxyl (-OH) groups. Notably, not all compounds with the CnH2nOn formula are carbohydrates. The chapter explores the role of carbohydrates in life's origin and their functions in cells, emphasizing the relationship between molecular structure and biological properties.
