What does TRIOSE mean in Scrabble?
noun
chemistry
Any of a small group of simple sugars whose molecules contain exactly three carbon atoms.
A triose forms one of the smallest possible monosaccharide sugars, produced in living cells as an intermediate step during processes such as the breakdown of glucose for energy. Two well-known trioses, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone, appear at key points in cellular metabolism, linking the triose to the larger and more familiar sugars built from longer carbon chains. Biochemists classify a triose alongside larger sugar groups such as the pentoses and hexoses purely by counting its carbon atoms.
