present in the chemical markers that distinguish the blood types
D-Galactose
D-Fructose • also called
fruit sugar
D-Fructose • also called fruit sugar; It is also referred to as
levulose
D-Fructose • also called fruit sugar; It is also referred to as levulosebecause it has an optical rotation that is strongly
levorotatory
D-Fructose the only naturally occurring
ketohexose
Unlike glucose, fructose causes a low rise in blood sugar levels. Therefore, some health professionals recommend fructose as a “safe” sweetener for people with
type 2 diabetes
Component of a variety complex molecules, including RNA and ATP
D-Ribose
are sugars composed of two monosaccharide residues linked by a glycoside bond
disaccharides
The physiologically important disaccharides are
maltose, sucrose, and lactose
Glucose + glucose
Maltose
Maltose
Maltose • Often called
Malt sugar
Made up of two D-glucose units, the glycosidic linkage between the two glucose units is called an
ᾳ (1,4) linkage.
A reducing sugar
Maltose
The most important chemical reaction of maltose is that of hydrolysis; Acidic conditions or the (blank)is needed for the hydrolysis to occur.
enzyme maltase
Glucose + galactose
Lactose
Lactose
Lactose Made up of a
β-D-galactose unit and a D-glucose unit
Made up of a β-D-galactose unit and a D-glucose unit joined by
β-(1,4) glycosidic linkage
Lactose common name
milk sugar
