Is maltose a pentose?
No, fructose is a hexose sugar, it is made up of 6 carbons.
What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
What is a monomer of starch?
It's a hexose sugar, also known as Glucose.
What is the difference between a hexose and a pentose?
The primary difference between a pentose and a hexose is the obvious difference in the carbon content of each. A hexose, by definition, contains five carbons in its central ring, a hexose contains six. Examples of a hexose is the energy molecule glucose while an example of a pentose is ribose, a structural sugar that helps make up DNA.
What is the name given to the chemical reaction in which two or more hexose sugars combine to form larger units?
When two hexoses, such as glucose and fructose, combine, the reaction is a condensation, because a small molecule is eliminated:glucose + fructose → sucrose + waterMore specifically, when the small eliminated molecule is water, it is a dehydration reaction.(The water is formed when a hydroxyl group -OH of one hexose reacts with a hydroxyl group on the other. Water is formed, and the two hexoses are combined by the remaining oxygen atom -O- )If further sugars add to the chain, the reaction is also polymerization.
Which hexose is also known as dextrose?
D-glucose.
What is a six-carbon sugar called?
Such common sugar is Glucose C6H12O6 but Fructose, Glactose and Mannose also have the same formula.
Is glucose an hexose?
Hexose sugar are monosaccharides containing six carbon back bone in it.
Is maltose a pentose?

What is carbon sugar called?
hexose
What is another name for a 6 carbon sugar?
hexose
What are the 6 carbon carbohydrates called?

What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
What does phtotsynthesis produce?
Photosynthesis produce hexose sugar and oxygen
Where does hexose monophosphate shunt take place in cell?
cytosol
What is exactly the definition of hexose?
The term Hexose is used in Organic Chemistry. Its definition is any of the class of simple sugars who's molecules contain 6 Carbon atoms. Such as glucose, or fructose.
