PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Natural sugars, also called saccharides or carbohydrates, are polyhydroxylated aldehydes or ketones with the brute chemical formula Cn(H2O)m where n and m may be different. They are named by the suffix “-ose”. There are notably two families: ketoses and aldoses, containing from 3 to 7 carbon atoms for natural oses.

Detailed explanation-2: -: a monosaccharide sugar or combination of sugars : carbohydrate.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides. Mono refers to one and saccharides mean sugar. The most common monosaccharides are glucose, galactose and fructose.

Detailed explanation-4: -In scientific literature, the term “carbohydrate” has many synonyms, like “sugar” (in the broad sense), “saccharide", “ose", “glucide", “hydrate of carbon” or “polyhydroxy compounds with aldehyde or ketone". Some of these terms, especially “carbohydrate” and “sugar", are also used with other meanings.

Detailed explanation-5: -The saccharides are divided into four chemical groups: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.
