What are the three common simple sugars in your diet?

The three most common monosaccharides in one's diet are most likely glucose (both the alpha and beta isomers), galactose, and fructose. These sugars make up three common diasaccharides: Maltose, Lactose and Sucrose Maltose (malt sugar) is made from 2 alpha glucoses (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond) Lactose (milk sugar) is made from galactose and beta glucose (linked via a beta glycosidic bond) Sucrose (table sugar) is made from alpha glucose and fructose (linked via an alpha glycosidic bond.)

How many water molecules will the bonding of four simple sugars produce?

The bonding of sugars is a condensation reaction, producing one water molecule with each reaction. To bond four simple sugars, three bondings are required, which means three water molecules are produced.

Are monosaccharides absorbed in blood or lymph?

Monosaccharides are simple sugars with three to seven carbon atoms in its carbon skeletons. They are absorbed in the blood because, most organisms use glucose (which is also referred to as blood sugar) as a source of energy. The energy in glucose, and in all molecules, is contained in the atoms and bonds of the molecule itself.


What common polysaccharides carbohydrates found in plants?

Poly means "many" and saccharidemeans "sugar." Polysaccharides are molecules consisting of at least three sugars strung together. We call them starches. These are generally very long chains that contain a lot of energy. They have a lower glycemic index than simple or double sugars because they are so much larger and therefore digest more slowly and require certain enzymes that are found in the intestines. Simple sugars, like fructose, can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream without being "digested" first because they are basically already digested.
