Question
Which of the following is not a sugar?
✓
Answer
- Cellulose
Monosaccharides and disaccharides are generally considered as sugar, which is a term for soluble carbohydrates.
Cellulose, being long and a polymer of saccharides is not soluble in humans, and is, therefore, not considered as a sugar.
Cellulose is also polysaccharide and amorphous. Thus it is tasteless and non-sugar.
