BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Common monosaccharides include: glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose, and deoxyribose. Notice that the name of each of these sugars ends with the suffix-ose. This suffix, -ose, means full, specifically, full of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -In monosaccharides, the number of carbons usually ranges from three to seven. Most monosaccharide names end with the suffix –ose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Note that sugar names often end in “ose”: sucrose, dextrose, maltose, lactose, etc. Sucrose is the chemical name for sugar that comes from the cane and beet sugar plants.

Detailed explanation-4: -Sugar molecules ending in “ose” (dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose)

Detailed explanation-5: -Words ending in-ose: The suffix-ose is used in biochemistry to form the names of sugars. In Latin this suffix means “full of”, “abounding in”, or “like”. Sucrose, dextrose, glucose, maltose, fructose, and lactose are all scientific names for different types of sugar.
