,V. On biochemical basis explain:
n n n n
1. Sucrose is a non-reducing sugar. n n n n
Because it's non-reducing as both anomeric carbons of glucose & fructose
n n n n n n n n n n
are involved in the linkage so it doesn’t have or forms.

2. Polysaccharides are non-reducing. n n
Polysaccharides are composed of more than 10 monosaccharide units linked by glycos

idic bonds. since the condensation of the monosaccharide units involves the carbonyl g

3. Maltose or (lactose) is a reducing sugar. As

5. GAGs act as a shock absorbent.
n n n n n
when (GAGs) Solution is compressed, water is squeezed out & GAGS occupy a smaller
