Which sugar is part of the DNA structure?

# data[].attributes.body
DNA is a polymer. The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a "polynucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group

Compare and contrast glucose, galatose and fructose

# data[].attributes.body
glucose and galactose are stereoisomers (have atoms bonded together in the same order, but differently arranged in space). They differ in their stereochemistry at carbon 4. Fructose is a structural isomer of glucose and galactose (has the same atoms, but bonded together in a different order)

-Differentiate between aldoses and ketoses.

# data[].attributes.body
Aldose and ketose sugars are simple carbohydrates. An aldose sugar contains an aldehyde functional group in its structure; ketose sugars contain ketone functional groups. Aldose sugars that contain more than three carbon atoms possess stereoisomerism

Write the general molecular formula for monosaccarides

# data[].attributes.body
Monosaccharides are the simplest unit of carbohydrates. They're composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, and they cannot be broken down further since they are already in their simplest form. Their general formula is (CH2O)n, where n is any number equal or greater than 3

What are the two main functions of monosacchardies?

# data[].attributes.body
The two main functions of monosaccharides in the body are energy storage and as the building blocks of more complex sugars that are used as structural elements. Monosaccharides are crystalline solids that are soluble in water and usually have a sweet taste

Classify the monosaccarides as per the number of carbon atoms

# data[].attributes.body
Monosaccharides can be classified by the number x of carbon atoms they contain: triose (3), tetrose (4), pentose (5), hexose (6), heptose (7), and so on. Glucose, used as an energy source and for the synthesis of starch, glycogen and cellulose, is a hexose

What are the main categories of carbohydrates?

# data[].attributes.body
There are two major types of carbohydrates (or carbs) in foods: simple and complex. Simple carbohydrates: These are also called simple sugars. They're found in refined sugars, like the white sugar you see in a sugar bowl. If you have a lollipop, you're eating simple carbs

What are the elements that make up carbohydrates?

# data[].attributes.body
carbohydrates (carbo- = “carbon”; hydrate = “water”) contain the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, and only those elements with a few exceptions. The ratio of carbon to hydrogen to oxygen in carbohydrate molecules is 1:2:1
