a.
To determine:
Raffinose, a soluble fiber containing three carbohydrate units is classified as a monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide or polysaccharide
Introduction:
Carbohydrates are used by body in two forms- simpler form or in the complex form. The simplest forms of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. The form of carbohydrates which are composed of two monosaccharide units are known as disaccharides. Oligosaccharides are the carbohydrates which consists of three to nine monosaccharides units. When more than 10 monomer units of monosaccharides combine, they form a large molecule known as polysaccharide.
b.
To determine:
Starch, a storage carbohydrate of plants that contains thousands of glucose units is classified as a monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide or polysaccharide.
Introduction:
Carbohydrates are used by body in two forms- simpler form or in the complex form. The simplest forms of carbohydrates are monosaccharides. The form of carbohydrates which are composed of two monosaccharide units are known as disaccharides. Oligosaccharides are the carbohydrates which consists of three to nine monosaccharides units. When more than 10 monomer units of monosaccharides combine, they form a large molecule known as polysaccharide.
c.
To determine:
Fructose is a simple sugar found in fruit with the formula C6H12O6 is classified as a monosaccharide, disaccharide, oligosaccharide or polysaccharide
Introduction:
