B. FalseGlucose & StarchGlucose is a monosaccharide, which means that it is only made up of one repeating unit. Starch on the other hand is a polysaccharide made up of a lot of repeating units. Because of this glucose is readily absorbed by our bodies while starch takes time....
In an experiment designed to characterize the reduction steps of the MEP pathway, the bacterium Z. mobilis was grown in the presence of [1-2H]glucose as a sole source of carbon and energy.161 Zymomonas mobilis has no complete tricarboxylic acid cycle, utilizes only hexoses as a carbon source...

Chemically, fructose is a hexose that is just the mirror image of glucose (an isomer) that is active levo-rotatory, hence the name levulose. In fruit (also known as fruit sugar) levulose is naturally occurring and contains enzymes, vitamins, minerals, fiber, and fruit pectin which all help...
The increased intake of high fructose corn syrup has raised concern because the absorbed fructose enters the liver but is not broken down by the usual pathways that handle simple sugar (glucose). As a consequence, less insulin, the hormone which regulates blood sugar levels, is released and ext...
Glucose is by far the most common carbohydrate and classified as a monosaccharide, an aldose, a hexose, and is a reducing sugar. It is also known as dextrose, because it is dextrorotatory (meaning thatas an optical isomer is rotates plane polarized light to the rightand also an origin for...
What is a compound that is classified as an aldehyde, and how is the compound used? In what way does the structure of this molecule influence its function? What is an isomer? How many possible isomers of heptane are there? What are ...
Glucose isomerase is an industrially important enzyme dueto its application in the production of high-fructose corn syrup, as well as in the fructose production by isomerization of glucose to fructose, which is applied as an alternative to cane sugar (Bhosale et al., 1996; Olsen, 2002). ...
Two sugars, A and B, are known to be glucose and galactose, but it is not certain which one is which. On treatment with nitric acid, A gives an optically inactive aldaric acid, while B gives an optically active aldaric acid. Which sugar is glucose,...
