Simple carbohydrates are either monosaccharides (one sugar molecule) or disaccharides (two sugar molecules ... of glucose and fructose) and lactose (which is made up of galactose and glucose).

Sugar belongs to a group of molecules called carbohydrates, which are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and are found in fruits, vegetables, dairy products, breads, and sweets. Carbohydrates ...

Sucrose has many O–H bonds which are polar. These polar areas are shown with a + near the hydrogen atom and a − near the oxygen atom. The second space-filling model shows two sucrose molecules held ...

β-GLUCOSE pentaacetate in acetone solution can be partially deacetylated by cooled 1 N potassium hydroxide solution to yield 6-O-acetyl-α-glucose. This product has a melting point of 146°.

However, after testing this hypothesis through mass spectrometry and various screening methods, they found glucose to be one of the molecules that drastically increased in abundance. This was ...

Starch and cellulose are polymers made from the glucose monomer. Proteins are polymers of the amino acids monomers. Lipids are made from two different molecules called fatty acids and glycerol.
