Chapter 17, Problem 17.72E

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

Dextrose is to be identified as a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. If it is a disaccharide, the individual monosaccharide components for dextrose are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Disaccharides are formed by two units of monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are made up of small units of monosaccharides. These small units are joined together by glycoside linkage.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

Fructose is to be identified as a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. If it is a disaccharide, the individual monosaccharide components for fructose are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Disaccharides are formed by two units of monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are made up of small units of monosaccharides. These small units are joined together by glycoside linkage.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

Sucrose is to be identified as a monosaccharide or a disaccharide. If it is a disaccharide, the individual monosaccharide components for dextrose are to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Monosaccharides are the small units of simple sugars. Disaccharides are formed by two units of monosaccharides. Polysaccharides are made up of small units of monosaccharides. These small units are joined together by glycoside linkage.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:
