Define Sugar as a type of Carbohydrates?
This group includes monosaccharide and disaccharides. List down the names of sugars under both these groups and check it out with those given here, Monosaccharides (DP: 1) are structurally the simplest form of carbohydrates and cannot be reduced in size to smaller units by hydrolysis. They are grouped according to the number of carbon atoms per molecule i.e. trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexose. Nutritionally the most important carbohydrates are hexoses. Metabolically, the most important hexose is glucose. The disaccharides (DP: 2) are sources of energy in the diet. Sucrose and lactose are more abundant than inaltose or malt sugar.
