Monosaccharides are usually coloured, amorphous, tasteless sugars, while polysaccharides are sweet tasting crystalline water soluble sugars.This statement is true or false

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine whether the statement is true or false, we need to analyze the characteristics of monosaccharides and polysaccharides. **Step 1: Understand the characteristics of monosaccharides.** - Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates. They are typically sweet in taste, not tasteless. - They are usually crystalline and can be soluble in water. **Step 2: Understand the characteristics of polysaccharides.** - Polysaccharides are complex carbohydrates made up of long chains of monosaccharide units. They are generally tasteless. ...
