The arrangement of a monosaccharides atoms affects the properties of the

Solubility and aborption

Explanation:

Molecules with the same chemical formula but different structure are called isomers. Glucose, fructose and galactose are types of monosaccharide isomers. The complexity of structure increases from glucose to galactose. The simpler the structure the more soluble the compound. Glucose is more soluble than fructose and fructose is more soluble than galactose.

When the arrangement of a monosaccharide is simpler, the rate of absorption is higher. Glucose has a higher absorption rate compared to galactose.
