There are four types of carbohydrates, named by the number of sugar molecules they contain.

During photosynthesis, living plants convert carbon dioxide in the air into sugar molecules they use for food.

In animals and humans, poisons are often bound to sugar molecules as part of their elimination from the body.

Glycans are complicated sugar molecules that play many important biological roles.

This refers to the direction the 3rd and 5th carbon on the sugar molecule is facing.

In the 1970s, they created a polymer with collagen fibers and sugar molecules.

When sugar molecules are present, there is not as much room for water.

This is only 5% of the energy per sugar molecule that the typical aerobic reaction generates.

As a result, sugar molecules accumulate and ultimately cause cells to break down.

This comes from the sugar molecules breaking apart and creating electricity!
