The answer is: Triglycerides One nomenclature rule for most sugars is that they end in “ose”. All of the choices above except for “triglycerides” end in “ose” which means they are sugars. Sugars are classified as carbohydrates. Triglycerides are formed from carbohydrates that are not used up during metabolism and are a form of fat or “lipid”.
