Question
Chapter 11, Problem 8P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
To determine the classes of sugars to which the given monosaccharides belong.
Concept introduction:
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of sugar and are the basic units of carbohydrates. The general chemical formula for the monosaccharides is (CH2O)x and x is greater than or equal to 3 conventionally. The monosaccharides are classified based upon the number of x atoms contained by them.
