Question

for each of the chemical structures shown below, match the name of the carbohydrate with the structure. amylose amylopectin sucrose fructose glucose reset

Explanation:

Amylose is a linear polymer of glucose units. Amylopectin is a branched - chain polymer of glucose. Sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. Fructose is a monosaccharide with a five - carbon ring structure. Matching based on these structural characteristics: The linear chain of glucose units is amylose. The branched structure is amylopectin. The structure with two rings (glucose and fructose) is sucrose. The single five - carbon ring structure is fructose.

Answer:

Linear glucose chain - Amylose
Branched structure - Amylopectin
Two - ring structure - Sucrose
Single five - carbon ring - Fructose
