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 similarities and differnces in sugar and cellulose have to be given.

Concept introduction:

Monosaccharide is a type of sugar that is unable to hydrolyse in order to provide simpler sugar. They are crystalline and water soluble solids and have sweet taste. The general formula of monosaccharide is CnH2nOn.

Polysaccharides are made up of different monosaccharides bonded together. Plants and animals form polysaccharides to stock surplus sugar.
