∙ 12y agoMonosaccharides:
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates. They consist of one sugar and are usually colorless, water-soluble, crystalline solids. Some monosaccharides have a sweet taste. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose (dextrose), fructose, galactose, and ribose. Monosaccharides are the building blocks of disaccharides like sucrose(common sugar) and polysaccharides (such as cellulose and starch). Further, each carbon atom that supports a hydroxyl group (except for the first and last) is chiral, giving rise to a number of isomeric forms all with the same chemical formula. For instance, galactose and glucose are both aldohexoses, but they have different chemical and physical properties.

The smallest unit of an element that maintains?
The smallest unit in an element is the atom.
The smallest possible unit of a covalent compound?
The Smallest unit of an covalent bond is a molecule
What is the smallest identifiable unit of a compound is a which is made up of?
For covalently bonded particles, the smallest identifiable unit of a compound is a molecule. For ionic compounds, the smallest identifiable unit of a compound is a formula unit.
The smallest meaningful unit of language structure is called?
Morpheme
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element.?
The smallest unit of an element that maintains the properties of that element is the atom.
What is the smallest unit any carbohydrate can be hydrolyzed to?
Glucose is the simplest monosaccharide or sugar and is the smallest unit any carbohydrate can be broken down to. It is the only carbohydrate the brain can use as fuel and the glucose is stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen which is a polymer of glucose.
Do carbohydrate consist of amino acids unit?
no carbohydrate does not consist of amino acids unit
Which macromolecule is glucose associated with?
Glucose is actually a monosaccharide, which is the smallest unit of a carbohydrate. Glucose is also bound to fructose to create sucrose, which is a disaccharide (a larger carbohydrate). Finally, glucose is also a component of the polysaccharide starch, which is definitely a macromolecule.
What is a carbohydrate containing only one sugar unit?
Sugar containing one sugar unit is called carbohydrate.
What is a compound's smallest unit usually called?
If it is a molecular compound, the smallest unit is called a molecule. If it is an ionic compound, the smallest unit is called a formula unit.
What is the smallest unit that maintain the properties of an element?
This smallest unit is the atom.
The smallest unit of an element that maintains?
The smallest unit in an element is the atom.
What is the smallest unit of molecular compound?
Smallest unit of a compound is a molecule.
What is a compounds smallest unit?
A molecule is a compounds smallest unit
What is the smallest unit of an organization?
A cell is the smallest unit of an organism
What unit is smallest for mass?
Alyssa Carney is the smallest unit of mass.
Is glucose the smallest type of protein?
Glucose is not a protein, it is a carbohydrate.
