Smallest unit of carbohydrate

Answer 1

Carbohydrates are typically measured in grams.

Answer 2

The carbohydrates are divided into four chemical groupings: monosaccharides, disaccharides, oligosaccharides, and polysaccharides.So one unit is saccharide.

Answer 3

Monosaccharides:

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.

Answer 4

Fundamental Structural feature of Carbohydrates is it's covalent bonds. It is made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.

Answer 5

The smallest unit of carbohydrate is a monosaccharide, such as glucose or fructose. These are single sugar molecules that cannot be broken down into simpler sugars by hydrolysis.

Answer 6

Monosaccharide

Answer 7

Sugar.

Answer 8

Sugars
