Monosaccharides are classified by the number of carbon atoms and the types of functional groups present in the sugar. For example, glucose and fructose have the same chemical formula (C6H12O6), but a different structure: glucose having an aldehyde (internal hydroxyl shown as: -OH) and fructose having a keto group (internal double-bond O, shown as: =O). This functional group difference, as small as it seems, accounts for the greater sweetness of fructose as compared to glucose.

∙ 9y agoAll monosaccharides contain OH (hydroxyl) functional groups and CO(carbonyl) functional groups. However in certain monosaccharides the cabonyl group exist as aldehydes and in others as ketones. Monosaccharides with aldehyde functional groups are known as "aldoses" and those with ketone functional groups are known as "ketoses".

What are the functional groups in a ketopentose?
A kenopentose has a ketone functional group attatched to a monosaccharide that contains all hydroxyl functional groups.
What functional group is found in alcohol with 3 carbons?
A functional group is a group that defines the molecule.As you know the molecule in question is an alcohol then the functional group is an OH group
What is an aldoketose?
An aldoketose is another term for a ketoaldose, a monosaccharide which contains an aldehyde and a ketone functional group in equilibrium with one or more hemiacetal forms.
What functional group is found in aldehyde?
Carbonyl
What functional group are found in cholesterol molecules?
alcohol
What are the functional groups in a ketopentose?

What is a xylulose?
Xylulose is a monosaccharide containing five carbon atoms, and including a ketone functional group, with the chemical formula C5H10O5.
On monosaccharides the functional group that is found bonded to all of the carbons on the chain except one is called Hydroxyl group Carbonyl group Carboxyl group or Phosphate group?
A monosaccharide is composed of a chain of carbons all with hydroxyl groups, plus one carbonyl such as a ketone or an aldehyde.
Which is a polar functional group found in alcohols?
The functional group in alcohols is the hydroxyl -OH.
Is Methyl the functional group that is commonly found in alcohols?
No, methyl is not a functional group commonly found in alcohols. The functional group that is commonly found in alcohols is the hydroxyl group (-OH). Methyl, on the other hand, is a functional group commonly found in compounds called methyl groups (-CH3).
