Description : The rate of absorption of sugars in intestine is highest for which monosaccharide?
Last Answer : Absorption rate of galactose is more than glucose, while fructose is absorbed at a lesser rate than glucose.
Description : Glucose and fructose are reducing sugars, but sucrose (containing glucose and fructose) is a non-reducing sugar, why?
Last Answer : Because the glycosidic linkage in sucrose involves 1st carbon of glucose and 2nd carbon of fructose, so both reducing groups are masked.

Last Answer : Glucose, fructose, mannose.
Description : How alpha and beta forms of sugars are produced?
Last Answer : These are anomers. The difference lies in the spatial configuration with reference to the first carbon atom in aldoses and second carbon atom in ketoses.

Description : If the amino group and a carboxylic group of the amino acid are attached to same carbon atom, the amino acid is called (A) Alpha (B) Beta (C) Gamma (D) Delta
Description : All amino acids have one asymmetric carbon atom, except (A) Arginine (B) Aspargine (C) Histidine (D) Glycine

Description : Does complex thought ever feel like you are wasting vaulable brain sugars?
Last Answer : LOL! No! I like it. Wait, I read the rest of the details…if I’m doing a complex task that I don’t enjoy I get cranky.
Description : If consumers rebel against high fructose corn syrup, what do you think will be the economic results for corn farming? Are beet and cane sugars more or less expensive to raise than corn? Which crop is the least caustic to the soil?
Last Answer : I don't know any of the details but My understanding is that U.S. government subsidizes the corn industry so much that it's not economically feasible for sugar cane manufacturers to compete as a food ... . Hence why you can buy Coca-Cola made in Mexico that uses real cane sugar instead of HFCS.
