Answer
(a) cellulose and glycogen are polymers of D-glucose, but cellulose has $\beta$ 1 $\rightarrow$ 4 glycosidic bond, but glyogen has a $\alpha$ 1 $\rightarrow$ 4 glycosidic bond.
(b) D-glucose and D-fructose are hexoses, but glucose is an aldose, and fructose is a ketose.
(c) Maltose and sucrose are disaccharides, but maltose has a $\alpha$ 1 $\rightarrow$ 4 glycosidic bond of two D-glucose units; sucrose has a $\alpha$ 1 $\rightarrow$ 2 $\beta$ -linked D-glucose and D-fructose.
Work Step by Step
Sugars differ from each other based on monomer units, glycosidic linkage, functional group, number of carbon, etc.
