disaccharides

18
Q

CH20)n

usually contain 3-7 carbons

A

monosaccharides

19
Q

If the sugar has an aldehyde group, meaning that the carbonyl C is the last one in the chain, it is known as an

A

aldose.

20
Q

If the carbonyl C is internal to the chain, so that there are other carbons on both sides of it, it forms a ketone group and the sugar is called a .
