Interpretation: To match the category of an organic compound for the given biological molecule.
Concept introduction: A
Answer to Problem 5STP
Monosaccharides are most closely identified with a biological molecule i.e., carbohydrates.
Explanation of Solution
Carbohydrates are biochemical substances that contain a polyhydroxy
The classification of carbohydrates is done on the basis of molecular sizes which are as follows:
- Monosaccharide
- Disaccharide
- Polysaccharide
Monosaccharides are simple molecules or monomers which form carbohydrates. Such as glucose and fructose.
Disaccharides are carbohydrates formed when two monosaccharides are bonded together. In a disaccharide, the bond between two monosaccharides is known as glycosidic linkage. Some examples of disaccharides are sucrose, maltose, and lactose.
When more than two monosaccharide units are joined together, it yields into polysaccharide. Such as starch and cellulose.
Monosaccharides are most closely identified with a biological molecule i.e., carbohydrates.
