Concept explainers

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the organic compounds that are obtained in foods and living matters in the shape of sugars, cellulose, and starch. The general formula of carbohydrates is Cn(H2O)2. The ratio of H and O present in carbohydrates is identical to water.
Starch
Starch is a polysaccharide carbohydrate that belongs to the category of polysaccharide carbohydrates.
Mutarotation
The rotation of a particular structure of the chiral compound because of the epimerization is called mutarotation. It is the repercussion of the ring chain tautomerism. In terms of glucose, this can be defined as the modification in the equilibrium of th…
L Sugar
A chemical compound that is represented with a molecular formula C6H12O6 is called L-(-) sugar. At the carbon’s 5th position, the hydroxyl group is placed to the compound’s left and therefore the sugar is represented as L(-)-sugar. It is capable of rotat…

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason for why human cannot digest cellulose and ruminant animals can digest cellulose has to be stated.

Concept Introduction:

Carbohydrates are naturally occurring compounds.  Carbohydrates are polyhydroxy aldehydes and ketones.  Glucose is a monosaccharide and starch is a disaccharide.  Polysaccharides are polymer of saccharides.  Polysaccharides are those carbohydrates molecules which contains many saccharide units.  Starch is an example of a polysaccharide.
