Question

8Q. Arrange the following carbohydrates in order of increasing complexity of
chemical structure:
Fructose, starch, chitin, maltose.oligosaccharides.glycogen.​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Triose has the molecular formula of C3H6O3. 

Fructose has the molecular formula of C6H12O6. Maltose has the molecular formula of C12H22O11.

Oligosaccharides have the molecular formula of 3 to 10 times C12H22O11. 

Starch has the molecular formula of C6H10O5 (n times) and it is also a polysaccharide. 

Hence, the increasing order of complexity of chemical structures is triose> fructose> maltose> oligosaccharides> starch.

Answer 2

Answer:

triose > Fructose > maltose > oligosaccharides > starch
