What are the two kinds of glucose?

Answer 1

One of important group of carbohydrates from known four group as stated under, is, known as simple sugars (monosaccharides) Glucose (C6H12O6 ). Found in fruits and honey, source of energy. and other is Polysaccharides which are more complex in chemical structures.

There are following categories of carbohydrates can be grouped 1. Monosaccharides a) Trioses: Ketotriose (Dihydroxyacetone) , Aldotriose (Glyceraldehyde) b) Tetroses: Ketotetrose (Erythrulose) , Aldotetroses (Erythrose, Threose) c) Pentoses:Ketopentose (Ribulose, Xylulose) d) Aldopentose (Ribose, Arabinose, Xylose, Lyxose) e) Deoxy sugar (Deoxyribose) f) Hexoses:Ketohexose (Psicose, Fructose, Sorbose, Tagatose) Aldohexose (Allose, Altrose, Glucose, Mannose, Gulose, Idose, Galactose, Talose) Deoxy sugar (Fucose, Fuculose, Rhamnose) Heptose:Sedoheptulose 2. Multiple a) Disaccharides:Sucrose , Lactose , Trehalose , Maltose b) Trisaccharides: Raffinose , Melezitose , Maltotriose c) Tetrasaccharides:Acarbose , Stachyose d) Other oligosaccharides:Fructooligosaccharide (FOS) , Galacto-oligosaccharide (GOS) , Mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS) e) Polysaccharides:Glycogen , Starch (Amylose , Amylopectin) , Cellulose , Chitin , Inulin , Dextrin , Glucan (Beta-glucan) 3. Glycosaminoglycans a) Heparin , Chondroitin sulfate , Hyaluronan , Heparan sulfate , Dermatan sulfate , Keratan sulfate 4. Aminoglycosides Kanamycin , Streptomycin , Tobramycin , Neomycin , Paromomycin , Apramycin , Gentamicin , Netilmicin , Amikacin
