Name several molecules of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharids and give function and sources of each.
Answers
Explanation:
Monosaccharides= glucose, galactose
Disaccharides= sucrose, lactose
Polysaccharides = cellulose, starch
Glucose is found in rich carbohydrate foods. its function is for providing energy and ATP production
Galactose is found in dairy products, avocados, sugar beets, other gums and mucilages. Galactose is a simple sugar that is normally transformed in the liver before being used up as energy.
Sucrose is found in flower nectar, maple sap, etc. Its function is for food source that will breakdown into glucose and fructose, thus providing energy.
Lactose is found in milk and dairy. Its function is for food source that will breakdown into glucose and galactose, thus providing energy.
Cellulose is the component of plant cell wall. Its function is for structural stability and protection in plants
Starch is found in high carbohydrst foods. Its function is to provide energy by breaking down to glucose.
Monosaccharides - Glucose and fructose.
Disaccharides- sucrose.
Polysaccharide - cellulose.
These all are carbohydrates that are used by humans for energy production
These are found in dairy products , fruits,vegetable etc.
