Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are divided into four types: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides. Monosaccharides consist of a simple sugar; that is, they have the chemical formula C6H12O6. Disaccharides are two simple sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -The most important monosaccharides in fruits and vegetables are the hexoses, glucose and fructose (Fig. 9.1). Other minor monosaccharides include mannose, galactose, xylose, and arabinose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Glycogen: It is made up of a large chain of molecules. Cellulose: The cell wall of the plants is made up of cellulose. Starch: It is formed by the condensation of amylose and amylopectin. Inulin: It is made up of a number of fructofuranose molecules linked together in chains. 24-Dec-2020
