Organic carbohydrates have from three to six carbon with an aldehyde, R-COH, or a ketone, R-O-R, functional group. They also have alcohol, R-OH, functional groups. Sugars with the larger carbon chains are capable of forming ring structures. The R stands for the carbon chain. Once inside the cell, the individual sugars join forming large polymers. The sugar we are most family with is the six carbon sugar, glucose. However ribose and deoxyribose are five carbon sugars which form the backbone of our genetic material.
