BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -Sugars often end in “-ose.” Common examples include fructose, sucrose, glucose, dextrose, lactose, maltose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Sugar molecules ending in “ose” (dextrose, fructose, glucose, lactose, maltose, sucrose)

Detailed explanation-3: -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.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
