Concept explainers
Interpretation:
“Indicate whether each disaccharide is a reducing sugar or not.” should be explained
Concept introduction:
► Carbohydrates are organic compounds contain poly hydroxyl group along with either
► The carbohydrate is classified on the presence of ring in the structure.
► Monosaccharide carbohydrate: it contains only one ring in their structure.
► Disaccharide carbohydrate: it contains two rings in their structure.
► Polysaccharide carbohydrate: Polysaccharide carbohydrate contains three or more than three rings in their structure.
► A glycosidic bond is a type of covalent bond in which one molecule of joining is always sugar (carbohydrate) with β-configuration. There are following types of glycosidic bonds:
1. glycosidic bond.
2. glycosidic bond.
3. glycosidic bond.
4. glycosidic bond.
► Reducing sugars:
Those carbohydrates are known as reducing sugars which have either an aldehyde group or are able to introduce this group by isomerism in their structure. Examples:
Monosaccharides like glucose, galactose and disaccharides like lactose and maltose.
