  1. A few things;
    1. honey is a disaccharide and does not contain glucose (which is a monosaccharide)
    2. fiber is a generic name like cat. There are lots of types and I need a more specific name.
    3. to my understanding, mangoes are plants and only animals have glycogen.
    So, it appears that only the lactose and starch are acceptable thus far.
    +2

  4. You are now up to +4 but dietary fiber is still not specific. The honey was acceptable as a carbohydrate, it just needed a correct name!

  5. Would be the change I've recently made be fine, or I am I still missing something.

  6. Fiber = indigestible carbohydrate You are only adding adjectives which are redundant. But this is a generalized name. I can not look up in a book the term dietary fiber and obtain its structure. I should be able to do that from the name you provide.

  7. Ah, I understand, sorry. Should I then pick a different picture to identify a different type of carbohydrate, because I feel that I shouldn't get credit for the picture since you've told me specifically what I should've put.

  8. You think I gave you the answer? I don't think so. All I've done is tell you the criteria for this category.

  9. Oh, ok, sorry for misinterpreting what you said. I will make the edit to the picture.
