BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates have been given non-systematic names, although the suffix ose is generally used. The most common carbohydrate is glucose (C6H12O6). Applying the terms defined above, glucose is a monosaccharide, an aldohexose (note that the function and size classifications are combined in one word) and a reducing sugar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates have the highest oxygen to carbon ratio of any of the important organic molecules. 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-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)
