Classification Example Characteristics
Carbon backbone
  • Hydrophobic
  • Can pass through the cellular membrane because the
    membrane consists of lipid layer.
  • Has high permeability in the intestinal lipid membrane.
Sugar molecule
  • Hydrophobic
  • Galactose, Arabinose etc.
High molecular glycoside
  • Hydrophilic characteristic
  • Has low permeability in the intestinal lipid membrane since the incorporation of hydrophilic sugar molecule.
  • Poorly absorbed
