What is chemical formula for a hexose?
Pentose is a monosaccharide with five carbon atoms
Molecular formula for monosaccharides?
With few exceptions (e.g., deoxyribose), monosaccharides have the chemical formula Cx(H2O)y, where x is at least 3. Monosaccharides can be classified by the number x of carbon atoms they contain: diose (2) triose (3) tetrose (4), pentose (5), hexose (6), heptose (7), and so on.
Is glucose an hexose?
Hexose sugar are monosaccharides containing six carbon back bone in it.
Are polysaccharides made up of simple sugars?
No simple sugar is a monosaccharide And a polysaccharide is made up of many monosaccharides the opposite .Remember this (C.H2.O)n where is n is at least 3 or greater.There is three carbon sugar(triose),four carbon sugar(tetrose),five carbon sugar (pentose), and there is six carbon sugar(Hexose).......and so on..... But there is only one exception Diose(two carbon sugar) called Glycolaldehyde and it doesn't have ketone because it has only two carbon.There is no one carbon and two carbon sugar except the exception Glycolaldehyde. I hope I didn't answer it in a complicated way. By Muhammad Mehernosh Haidary
Which hexose is also known as dextrose?
D-glucose.
Is maltose a pentose?
No, fructose is a hexose sugar, it is made up of 6 carbons.
Is glucose an aldose ketose or pentose?
hexose, it is a 6 carbon sugar.
What is another name for pentose pathway?
pentose phosphate pathway (also called phosphogluconate pathway, or hexose monophosphate shunt [HMP shunt])
What is chemical formula for a hexose?
Pentose is a monosaccharide with five carbon atoms
What is the difference between a hexose and a pentose?
The primary difference between a pentose and a hexose is the obvious difference in the carbon content of each. A hexose, by definition, contains five carbons in its central ring, a hexose contains six. Examples of a hexose is the energy molecule glucose while an example of a pentose is ribose, a structural sugar that helps make up DNA.
Is chitin inorganic?
No, chitin is an organic molecule. Since it is a polysaccharide, it is made of pentose/hexose rings, and those are organic molecules.
What is the role of hexose monophosphate shunt?
to produced reducing equivalents NADPH + H+ for Lipid synthesis To generate pentose sugars for nucleotide synthesis

What is carbon sugar called?
hexose
What type of sugar are there?
Sugars can be classified under various criteria.(1) According to the number of monomers present they could be classified as mono saccharides(one monomer), di saccharides(2 monomers) and oligosaccharides(3 to 10 monomers).Mono saccharides could be classified further depending on the number of C atoms present as:Triose (3 C atoms)Tetrose (4 C atoms)Pentose (5 C atoms)Hexose (6 C atoms)Heptose (7 C atoms)(2) According to the functional group present.If the functional group is an aldehyde then those sugars are AldosesIf the functional group is an ketone then those sugars are Ketoses.I saw this under the chemistry category. Hope this is what you expected.
