In sugars, the process of numbering carbons is carried out by starting at the end of the molecule closest to the carbonyl group (aldehyde or ketone). The carbon closest to the carbonyl group is assigned the number 1, and subsequent carbons are numbered sequentially along the carbon chain.

How does the numbering of fructose molecules differ from other types of sugars?

The numbering of fructose molecules differs from other sugars because it starts from the opposite end of the molecule. In fructose, the carbon atoms are numbered starting from the carbonyl group, while in other sugars, the numbering starts from the opposite end.


How the lactic acid fermentation and alcoholic fermentation?

Lactic fermentation transform sugars having six carbons in lactic acid.Alcoholic fermentation transform sugars in ethanol and carbon dioxide.


What is the anaerobic breakdown of sugars into alcohol?

The anaerobic breakdown of sugars into alcohol is called fermentation. This process occurs in the absence of oxygen and is carried out by microorganisms like yeast. Yeast converts sugars into alcohol and carbon dioxide, producing ethanol as a byproduct.


Do all sugars have an oxygen attached to every carbon?

No, not all sugars have an oxygen attached to every carbon. For example, in deoxyribose sugar found in DNA, one of the carbons lacks an oxygen atom.


Is trisaccharide and C3 sugar the same?

No, a C3 sugar is a sugar containing 3 carbons. A trisaccharide is composed of 3 monosaccharide sugars.


What molecule is made of 6 or 5 carbons with lots of hydroxyl groups?

This could be simple sugars - but then it could be a lot of other things too.


What sugars are really glucose?

A sugar is a type of macromolecule with a ratio of carbons, hydrogens and oxygens, 1:2:1 respectively with either an aldehyde or ketone in the chain. Sugars vary in length and position of the carbonyl group and nomenclature uses the length and positions to name unique sugars. One type of sugar, glucose, has six carbons with an aldehyde carbonyl group. There are two forms of glucose, D and L glucose, depending on the position of the hydroxyl group on the anomeric carbon. All other sugars are not glucose.

How does the process of sparging mash contribute to the efficiency of extracting sugars during brewing?

Sparging mash helps extract more sugars by rinsing the grains with hot water, which helps dissolve and wash out the remaining sugars. This process ensures that all the sugars are extracted from the grains, leading to a more efficient brewing process.


Why csf sugar is always carried with rbc?

Because rbc's carry glucose (which is blood sugars).
