Carbohydrates are classified into monosaccharide, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. What is the basic of such classification ? |
| Answer» Solution :This CLASSIFICATION of carbohydrates is BASED on their HYDROLYSIS. If the CARBOHYDRATE cannot behydrolysed into simpler unit, they are CALLED monosaccharide.
