  • Recognise that monosaccharides contain either an aldehyde group (aldose) or a ketone group (ketose) and several -OH groups, and have the empirical formula CH2O
  • Distinguish between α-glucose and β-glucose, and compare and explain the structural properties of starch (amylose and amylopectin) and cellulose
  • Recognise that triglycerides (lipids) are esters and describe the difference in structure between saturated and unsaturated fatty acids
