HUMAN NUTRITION

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Fructose, glucose, and sucrose are sugars. The names of sugars always end with the suffix “-ose.” Do sugars ionize to an appreciable extent when dissolved in water?

Detailed explanation-3: -Carbohydrates have been given non-systematic names, although the suffix ose is generally used. The most common carbohydrate is glucose (C6H12O6).

Detailed explanation-4: -The figure below shows the most common monosaccharides: glucose, fructose and galactose (six-carbon monosaccharides), and ribose and deoxyribose (five-carbon monosaccharides). Note that they are all named using the suffix –ose, which means sugar.
