Answer:

Answered below

Explanation:

Carbohydrates are biomolecules that contain hydrogen, carbon and oxygen. They are generally structured as a chain of carbons with hydroxyl groups, and ketones or aldehydes. The subtypes include;

Monosaccharides

Disaccharides

Polysaccharides

Monosaccharides are generally represented by the formula CH2On. They are classified based on the number of carbon atoms they have. Example, hexoses have 6 carbon atoms, pentose, 5, diose, 2 etc. They are also classified based on whether they have ketones or aldehydes. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose and fructose.

Disaccharides are formed when two monosaccharides form glycosidic bond through a dehydration reaction. Examples of disaccharides include; maltose, lactose, and sucrose which is made up of glucose and fructose. An oligosaccharide is made up of 2-10 monosaccharides and are often components of glycoproteins or glycolipids.

Polysaccharides, also called complex carbohydrates are long-chain carbohydrates made of repeated monosaccharides linked by glycosidic bonds. Examples are starches and glycogen.

Which of the broad categories of resource use account for a disproportionate (or the largest) amount of your ecological footprin
enot [183]

The total productive areas in which a population, a person, or a product competes are tallied as ecological footprint. It gauges the ecological resources needed by a particular population or product to produce the natural resources it consumes (such as plant-based food and fiber products, livestock and fish products, timber and other forest products, and space for urban infrastructure), as well as to absorb its waste, particularly carbon emissions.

<h3>What is ecological reserve/deficit?</h3>

An ecological deficit happens when a population's ecological footprint exceeds the biocapacity of the space that population has access to. If a country has a national ecological deficit, it is either importing biocapacity through commerce, selling off its ecological resources, or releasing carbon dioxide waste into the sky. When a region's biocapacity surpasses its population's ecological footprint, an ecological reserve is created.
