Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Chemists assign names ending in “-ose” to all carbohydrates, whether sugars or starches. Many of these sugar “-oses” are unique chemical compounds and are known by unique names, although they are all sweet to varying degrees.
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.
