What does KETOSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
A simple sugar whose molecule contains a ketone group, such as fructose.
Chemists sort single sugars into two broad kinds, and a ketose is the kind that carries its reactive carbonyl inside the chain rather than at the end. Fructose, the sugar of fruit and honey, is the standard example. A ketose behaves differently from its aldehyde-bearing counterpart in some laboratory tests, which is why the distinction matters in biochemistry teaching.
