Vedclass · Answer

(B) triose sugar is a monosaccharide containing three carbon atoms.The general formula for carbohydrates is $(CH_2O)_n$,where $n$ represents the number of carbon atoms.For a triose sugar,$n = 3$.Substituting $n = 3$ into the general formula: $C_3(H_2O)_3 = C_3H_6O_3$.Therefore,the correct formula for a triose sugar is $C_3H_6O_3$.
