The generic term carbohydrate includes monosaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides as well as substances derived from monosaccharides by reduction of the carbonyl group (alditols), by oxidation of one or more terminal groups to carboxylic acids, or by replacement of one or more hydroxy group(s) by a hydrogen atom, an amino group, thiol group or similar groups. It also includes derivatives of these compounds. 4, record 1, English, - carbohydrate

Dénomination générique qui couvre les monosaccharides, les disaccharides, les oligosaccharides et les polysaccharides [ainsi que] leurs produits de réduction, tels les alditols, leurs produits d'oxydation, tels les acides sacchariques monosaccharides, [et] leurs dérivés obtenus par remplacement d'un ou de plusieurs groupes hydroxy, par exemple, par un atome d'hydrogène, un groupe amino ou un groupe thiol. 5, record 1, French, - hydrate%20de%20carbone

hydrates de carbone; carbohydrates. Ces noms tirent leur origine de leur composition chimique : Cn(H2O)n; ce sont des molécules organiques, sucres simples (glucosamine, monosaccharides : glucose, fructose, galactose ou dissacharides : saccharose, lactose, maltose, etc.) ou sucres complexes (polysaccharides : amidon, glycogène, cellulose, etc.), composées d'hydrogène, de carbone et d'oxygène. 6, record 1, French, - hydrate%20de%20carbone

Au début du XXième siècle, les dénominations glucides et hydrates de carbone étaient des synonymes exacts pour indiquer la composition générale des hydrates de carbone, une molécule d'eau liée à un atome de carbone. Avec le temps et la découverte de nouvelles molécules en chimie et en biochimie, la définition des hydrates de carbone formés de carbone, hydrogène et oxygène s'est élargie pour englober des molécules contenant de l'azote, du soufre ou du phosphore. Aujourd'hui, les glucides comprennent aussi ces nouvelles molécules telles que la glucosamine. 6, record 1, French, - hydrate%20de%20carbone

Los carbohidratos, o hidratos de carbono, son compuestos orgánicos constituidos por átomos de carbono, oxígeno e hidrógeno. También se les denomina azúcares, [...] o sacáridos. La fórmula básica para los carbohidratos es CH2O. Podemos distinguir tres clases de carbohidratos: Monosacáridos (sacárido que no puede hidrolizarse para obtener sacáridos más pequeños), disacáridos (dos moléculas de monosacáridos) y polisacáridos (tres o más moléculas de monosacáridos). 2, record 1, Spanish, - hidrato%20de%20carbono
