Answer
1. **Sucrose** is a disaccharide that contains one glucose and one fructose molecule.2. **Photosynthesis** is the process through which plants convert energy from the sun into glucose.3. **Caramelization** is the process where subjecting sugar to high or prolonged heat changes it into a brown liquid.4. **Saccharide** is the name given in organic chemistry to all carbohydrates classified as sugars.5. All **carbohydrates** have the basic structure Cₓ(H₂O)ᵧ.6. A **monosaccharide** is a simple sugar molecule that cannot be broken down into a smaller molecule without changing its basic nature.7. A **hydroxyl group** is an oxygen and hydrogen atom bonded together, represented by the chemical formula -OH.8. Two monosaccharides joined together are called a **disaccharide**.9. The hormone **insulin**, produced by the pancreas, allows glucose to move into the cells where it can be used for energy.10. An **interfering agent** is a substance used in candy making to prevent or slow crystal growth.11. An **alcohol** is an organic compound that contains at least one -OH group.12. **Hydrolysis** is the process where disaccharides and other large molecules are divided into smaller parts by adding water.13. **Lactose**, the sugar found in milk, is a disaccharide composed of one glucose and one galactose molecule.14. **Fructose** is a monosaccharide found widely in fruits and honey.15. **Invert sugar** is a mixture of glucose and fructose that results from the hydrolysis of sucrose.16. **Diabetes** is the body's inability to move glucose from the bloodstream to the cells.17. The ability of sugar to dissolve in water is known as **solubility**.18. Any solution heated to dissolve more solute than the water would normally hold is described as **supersaturated**.19. The body stores carbohydrates as multibranched chains of glucose called **glycogen**.20. **Glucose**, the basic energy source of humans, is a monosaccharide and the most abundant of the sugars.
