What is a reducing sugar?

Biology
1 answer:
icang [17]3 years ago
4 0
Reducing sugar is any sugar (all monosaccharides, some disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides) that is capable of acting as a reducing agent because it contains free aldehyde group or free ketone group.

Aldehyde group or alkanal is an organic compound containing formyl group. The formyl group is a functional group consisting of a carbonyl center bonded to hydrogen and an R group. This group can be readily reduced to primary alcohol with the help of catalyctic hydrogenation either applied directly or by transfer hydrogenation.

Ketone group unlike aldehyde group does not have a hydrogen atome bonded to the carbonyl group but it can still be hydrogenated.

Why do you think scientists want to be able to forecast space weather?
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

Scientists would most likely want to forecast space weather in order to know if it is safe for not only to lift off into outer space, but to be able to help astronauts in any case of emergency if something were to happen in the future.

Such as debris of small rocks that could pass by, so then astronauts would have to stay in the shuttle. To be protected from it.

In any case, scientists want to forecast the weather in outer space in order to protect astronauts, from any incoming dangers.
