Detailed explanation-1: -Carbohydrates are classified according to size and solubility in water. Because monosaccharides are joined to form the molecules of the other two groups, they are the structural unit, or monomer, of carbohydrates.
Detailed explanation-2: -The carbohydrates are classified on the basis of: A. Sugars and Non-sugars: Sugars are crystalline, sweet to taste, and water-soluble. Non-sugars are amorphous, tasteless, and water-insoluble.
Detailed explanation-3: -Polysaccharides– Starch, glycogen, and cellulose are examples of polysaccharides.
Detailed explanation-4: -A water-soluble polysaccharide complex (A) composed of galactose (17.9%), 3-O-methyl-galactose (3.0%), glucose (15.5%), mannose (8.3%), arabinose (30.4%), xylose (7.6%), fucose (2.6%), rhamnose (6.7%), and uronic acids (8.0%) has been isolated from the aerial parts of sage (Salvia officinalis L.)
