6. Amino acids that contain a greater number of amino (-NH₂) groups than carboxyl (-COOH) groups are classified as:
Amino acids are classified as Basic if they have more basic groups than acidic groups.
They are the simplest carbohydrate units.
7 / 30
7. How many monosaccharide units does a Monosaccharide yield upon hydrolysis?
Monosaccharides cannot be hydrolysed further to simpler units.
The two main preparation methods are listed under this heading.
8 / 30
8. What is the source material used for the commercial preparation of Glucose via hydrolysis, according to the sources?
Glucose can be prepared from both sucrose and starch.

9 / 30
9. Which component of Starch (Amylose) primarily consists of α-D-glucose units joined by C₁-C₄ glycosidic linkages (linear chain structure)?
Amylose is the linear component of starch.
This is analogous to the Pyranose structure of glucose.
10 / 30
10. The five-membered cyclic structure adopted by Fructose is known as:
Fructose has a five-membered ring structure referred to as the Furanose structure.
This system relates the configuration to glyceraldehyde.
11 / 30
11. What notation system is used to specify the configuration (spatial arrangement) of chiral carbon atoms in monosaccharides like glucose?
D- and L-notations are used to specify the configuration of glucose.
This implies a lack of overall charge influence from the side chains.
12 / 30
12. What type of amino acid classification refers to those containing an equal number of carboxyl (-COOH) and amino (-NH₂) groups?
Amino acids with equal numbers of acidic and basic groups are classified as Neutral.
This is the final disaccharide listed in the sources.

15. The overall function or Importance of Carbohydrates is primarily related to their role as:
Carbohydrates serve crucial functions, particularly providing energy and acting as storage molecules.
This is the specific terminology used to describe the cyclic form of glucose.
16 / 30
16. The six-membered ring structure of Glucose is specifically named after which heterocycle?
The six-membered ring structure of glucose is referred to as the Pyranose structure.
This concept is listed under the cyclic structure of Glucose.

The two cyclic hemiacetal forms of glucose (α and β) are called anomers.
This structure resembles animal glycogen.
18 / 30
18. The water-insoluble, highly branched component of Starch is:
Amylopectin is the water-insoluble, highly branched component of starch.
Amino acids are the building blocks of this class.
19 / 30
19. What type of molecule is formed when amino acids link together via peptide bonds to create large, complex structures?
Amino acids polymerize to form Proteins.
This is a highly fibrous structural polysaccharide.
20 / 30
20. Which polysaccharide is the main constituent of the cell wall in plants?
Cellulose is listed as a polysaccharide and is known for its structural role in plants.
Check the descriptions of the two starch components.
21 / 30
21. Which component of Starch is a water-soluble linear polymer?
Amylose is the water-soluble component of starch.
This intermediate class includes disaccharides.
22 / 30
22. Carbohydrates that yield two to ten monosaccharide units upon hydrolysis are classified as:
Oligosaccharides are defined as carbohydrates that yield between two and ten monosaccharide units upon hydrolysis. Disaccharides are specifically mentioned as examples of oligosaccharides.
This contrasts with essential amino acids.
23 / 30
23. Amino acids that the body can synthesize on its own are termed:
