What is aldotriose?
An aldotriose is an aldose with three carbon atoms.
What is a triose?
A triose is a monosaccharide containing three carbon atoms. There are only two trioses, an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde) and a ketotriose.
What is meant by trioses?
A triose is one of a group of monosaccharides that contain three carbon atoms. There are only two trioses, an aldotriose (glyceraldehyde) and a ketotriose. Source: Wikipedia
What are the 3 names for the different sizes of sugar?
Names for carbohydrates are characteristic in that they end in '-ose'. For saccarides (sugars), they either have the prefix 'aldo' or 'keto' to signify whether they have aldehyde or ketone functional groups, respectively. The middle part signifies the number of carbons. Example: Aldotriose (sugar with aldehyde functional group and has three carbons) Ketopentose (sugar with ketone functional group and has five carbons) Aldohexose (ketone, six carbons)
Examples of monosaccharide carbohydrates?
Glucose.
What are the two kinds of glucose?
One of important group of carbohydrates from known four group as stated under, is, known as simple sugars (monosaccharides) Glucose (C6H12O6 ). Found in fruits and honey, source of energy. and other is Polysaccharides which are more complex in chemical structures.There are following categories of carbohydrates can be grouped 1. Monosaccharides a) Trioses: Ketotriose (Dihydroxyacetone) , Aldotriose (Glyceraldehyde) b) Tetroses: Ketotetrose (Erythrulose) , Aldotetroses (Erythrose, Threose) c) Pentoses:Ketopentose (Ribulose, Xylulose) d) Aldopentose (Ribose, Arabinose, Xylose, Lyxose) e) Deoxy sugar (Deoxyribose) f) Hexoses:Ketohexose (Psicose, Fructose, Sorbose, Tagatose) Aldohexose (Allose, Altrose, Glucose, Mannose, Gulose, Idose, Galactose, Talose) Deoxy sugar (Fucose, Fuculose, Rhamnose) Heptose:Sedoheptulose 2. Multiple a) Disaccharides:Sucrose , Lactose , Trehalose , Maltose b) Trisaccharides: Raffinose , Melezitose , Maltotriose c) Tetrasaccharides:Acarbose , Stachyose d) Other oligosaccharides:Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) , Galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) , Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) e) Polysaccharides:Glycogen , Starch (Amylose , Amylopectin) , Cellulose , Chitin , Inulin , Dextrin , Glucan (Beta-glucan) 3. Glycosaminoglycans a) Heparin , Chondroitin sulfate , Hyaluronan , Heparan sulfate , Dermatan sulfate , Keratan sulfate 4. Aminoglycosides Kanamycin , Streptomycin , Tobramycin , Neomycin , Paromomycin , Apramycin , Gentamicin , Netilmicin , Amikacin
What is a carbohydrate made by plants?
