Dextrose is another name for D-glucose, which is a simple sugar (monosaccharide). It is called dextrose because it rotates plane-polarized light to the right (dextrorotatory). Dextrose is commonly used in IV drips to provide instant energy to patients. Related Questions: Decide whether sucrose is a disaccharide or monosaccharide. Give a reason. Write the formula … Read more
Sucrose is a disaccharide because it consists of two monosaccharides, glucose and fructose, linked by a glycosidic bond. A disaccharide forms when two simple sugar molecules undergo dehydration synthesis (removal of water). Related Questions: What is a dextrose sugar? Write the formula of an amino acid and identify functional groups in it. Which compounds … Read more
