Which two functional side groups are included in the straight-chain form of all monosaccharides?
Attached to all straight chain forms of monosaccharides are side groups. The side groups are one carbonyl functional group and one hydroxyl group on the remaining carbon atoms.
How many carbon and hydrogen atoms are there in methanol?
Methanol has a single carbon it its center with , 3 hydrogens and 1 hydroxyl (OH) group attached for a total of: 1 carbon atom 4 hydrogen atoms 1 oxygen atom
What is a carbon atom to which four different atoms or groups are attached?
i have not a clue, sorry!
How could two four-sugar oligosaccharides be structurally different even if both consist of two glucose monomers and two galactose monomers?
Sugars have hydroxyl groups on most of their carbon atoms. Linkage between molecules can therefore happen using different hydroxyl groups.
Is an asymmetric carbon atom attached to four different atoms or groups?
By definition, an asymmetric carbon atom is one that is bonded to four different types of atoms or groups, hence, only one can be a hydrogen atom. If there were two hydrogen atoms you would not have four different kinds of atoms.
How many carbon and hydrogen atoms are there in ethanol?
Ethanol has 2 carbon atoms and 3 hydrogen atoms attached to one of those carbon atoms with 2 hydrogen atoms and one hydroxyl (OH) group attached to the other - for a total of: 2 carbon atoms 6 hydrogen atoms 1 oxygen atom.

What atoms are attached to the carbon backbone and determine the molecule's function within the cell?
Functional groups are such atoms.
What is diastereomers?
Diastereomers are only possible if a molecule has at least two asymmetric carbon atoms (a carbon attached to four different groups or atoms) so alkenes don't have these.

What is alkene diastereomers?

What is a hydrocarbon with a hydroxyl group attached to a saturated carbon atom?
Alkenes have double bond between two carbon atoms
What Symmetric carbon atom?
symmetric carbon atoms are those atoms in which the carbon atoms valency is satisfied by same atoms r groups functional groups

Is hydroxyl hydrophobic or hydrophilic?
Hydroxyl -OH is Hydrophilic (attracts water). This is due to the electronegativity of the oxygen atom in -OH which makes the functional group polar. This polarity attracts the also polar H2O molecule creating a hydrophilic effect.
