The carbohydrates are divided into two large groups – simple sugars and compound sugars.
Carbohydrates such as such as glucose, galactose and fructose, which cannot be hydrolyzed into simpler compounds, are called monosaccharides. They are sweet, require no digestion, and can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream from the small intestine.
Monosaccharides are single-sugar molecules that are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen atoms in the ratio of 1:2:1.
One of the common simple sugar is glucose also called dextrose, is the form of carbohydrate to which all other forms are converted for eventual metabolism. It is found naturally in corn syrup and some fruits, blood living cells and vegetables. The central nervous system, the red blood cells, and the brain use only glucose as fuel, therefore a continuous source is needed.
A solution of glucose is often given intravenously when a source of quick energy is needed to sustain life.
