Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation: The number of monosaccharide units present in tetrasaccharide has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Monosaccharides are those type of sugars which cannot be further hydrolysed. If two monosaccharides combine, then it is called disaccharide and if three monosaccharides combine, then it is called trisaccharide. The
(b)
Interpretation: The number of monosaccharide units present in polysaccharide has to be stated.
Concept introduction: Monosaccharides are those type of sugars which cannot be further hydrolysed. If two monosaccharides combine, then it is called disaccharide and if three monosaccharides combine, then it is called trisaccharide. The polymer which is formed by the combination of several monosaccharides is called a polysaccharide. These monosaccharides can be same, called as homopolysaccharide or different called as heteropolysaccharides.
