Is xylose a reducing sugar?
Ribose: Ribose is an Aldopentose sugar, and all aldose sugars are reducing sugars. The non-reducing sugars are ketose sugars which contain a ketone functional group. For ex: Ketose = Sucrose. For ex: Aldose = Glucose, Fructose, Lactose
What functional group found in amino acids is absent from monosaccharides polysaccharides fatty acids and glycerol?
-NH2
What structural groups do all reducing sugars have in common?
All the reducing sugars have free Aldehyde or Ketone group.
Which functional group determines the two groups of sugars?
carbonyl
Why dont polysaccharides give a positive test with Fehling's solution?
Fehling test is only suitable for reducing sugars, that means, monosaccharides in its open form with an aldehyd available. Polysacchardes have the aldehydes in a acetal form and they can not react
What is a a group of nutrients that includes sugars and starches?
Glucose
Do fructose and glucose contain reducing sugars?
No, it is a polysaccharide and like other polysaccharides it is a non reducing sugar.
Cellulose belongs to a group of molecules called?
Cellulose belongs to polysaccharides, a group of carbohydrates.Cellulose belongs to a group of carbohydrate molecules called polysaccharides.
Is xylose a reducing sugar?

Is a carbohydrate a micronutrient?
Yes, a carbohydrate is a molecule made up of sugar molecules bonded together.There are monosaccharides, the simplest carbohydrates which are sugar molecules--fructose, glucose are part of this group. They are also called "simple sugars"There are disaccharides, sugars made up of two linked monosaccharides. Lactose, maltose and sucrose are part of this group.There are polysaccharides and oligosaccharides, longer "chains" and "branches" made up of several monosaccharides. Oligosaccharides are carbohydrates with between two and nine "simple sugar" molecules attached together.Starch and glycogen are polysaccharides.Cellulose and chitin are also polysaccharides, although technically not nutrients as the body does not digest them.
Do carbohydrates have an amine group?
No. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. Carbohydrates contain simple sugars (monosaccharides) and polymers of sugars (disaccharides and polysaccharides).
What is the bond called in a polysaccharides?
Carboxyl and Amine group
How does Benedicts test indicate hydrolysis of sucrose and starch?
Benedict 's solution contains Copper , which can accept electrons from reducing sugars and consequently change color. A positive Benedict's sugar test will produce an orange to brick-red color. Reducing sugars have either a free aldehyde functional group or a free ketone functional group as part of their molecular structure; starches and other polysaccharides lack these functional groups . If Benedict's test changes color ( pos. reaction ) polysaccharides must be hydrolyzed.
Sources of sugar?
There are many different kinds of sugars. They are a group of polysaccharides. Some sugars are simple, like glucose, and some are more complex, like wheat germ. Sugars in food come from plant sources. In fact, almost all plant foods including vegetables contain at least some sugar. Plants make sugar to store energy they collect from the sun.
Organic compounds consisting of various compounds of sugar are generally called?
they are examples of organic compounds called carbohydrates... carbohydrates can be complex like polysaccharides..example is starch. or carbohydrates can simple like monosaccharides or disaccharides...example is sugar
What nutrients does the grain group provide?
Nutrients
Differentiate between aldo and keto sugars with example?
sugars containing aldehydes as the functional group are termed as aldoses eg.glucose,sucrose sugars containing ketones as the functional group are termed as ketoses eg.fructose
