The very first ingredient listed оn the lаbel оf а Fiber One chewy grаnоla bar is chicory root extract. Chicory root is a source of the polysaccharide inulin. Inulin is classified as a fructan or a polymer of fructose similar to glucans, which are polymers of glucose (starches and cellulose).  However, one end of this polysaccharide is modified by the addition of a different sugar residue. The trisaccharide structure forming the modified end is shown in the figure above and is known as kestose.  Type your response to the following prompts in the text box below.  a.
