Disaccharides are sugar molecules composed of two monosaccharides linked together by a glycosidic bond. Common examples include sucrose (glucose + fructose), lactose (glucose + galactose), and maltose (glucose + glucose), serving as energy sources in food. This is an MCQ on Disaccharides: Structure, Functions and Examples Biochemistry Notes | Biochemistry […]
Oligosaccharides are short chains of 3 to 10 linked sugar molecules, like maltose and sucrose. They’re intermediate between monosaccharides and polysaccharides, playing roles in cell recognition, immunity, and gut health as prebiotics or in cellular signaling. This is an MCQ on Oligosaccharides Structure, Functions and Examples. Biochemistry Notes | Biochemistry […]
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates, consisting of single sugar molecules like glucose, fructose, and galactose. They serve as the basic units for more complex sugars and provide essential energy in biological processes. This is an MCQ on Monosaccharides Structure, Functions and Examples. Biochemistry Notes | Biochemistry PPTs | […]
Plant phenolics are a diverse group of compounds found in plants, including flavonoids and phenolic acids. They contribute to color, flavor, and defense mechanisms. Known for antioxidant properties, they also play roles in plant growth, reproduction, and protection against stresses like UV radiation and pathogens. This is an MCQ on […]
