LD-types
None of the above​

Answer 1

Answer:

Majority of the monosaccharides found in the human body are of D-type stereoisomer.

Answer 2

(1) D-type monosaccharides is the majority found in the human body.

Explanation:

• The simplest form of sugar and the monomers are called monosaccharides or simple sugars.
• The building blocks of disaccharides and polysaccharides is monosaccharides.
• To provide energy to living organisms, the chemical energy is extracted through glycolysis and citric acid cycle.
• d-glucose, d-fructose, d-mannose, g-galactose are commonly occurring monosaccharides.
• d-glucose are found in fruits, blood, honey and the constituent of disaccharides, sucrose and lactose is monosaccharides.
• The sweetest monosaccharides is fructose and it is metabolized by humans.
