Monosaccharides are building blocks of carbohydrates. They can exist in chain form or ring form, and in many cases, the only difference in these structures is in the arrangement of the hydroxyl groups.

What is the simplest unit of a compound that maintains all the characteristics of the compound?
One single molecule of a compound will have all the characteristics of a large amount of the compound. A single sugar molecule will look and taste just like a tablespoonful of sugar.
What substances make honey sticky?
Honey is comprised mainly of sugar and some sort of solvent. Sugar is a highly polar molecule. This means that when you look at honey on a molecular level, you see that there are certain parts of the sugar molecule that attracts another part of a different molecule (something like magnetic poles).

What is an example of 1 molecule of sugar?
Sugar is really a generic term. If your talking about table sugar which is sucrose- 1 molecule of fructose bounded to 1 molecule of glucose. So one molecule of sucrose is the dimer of 1molecule glucose and 1molecule fructose. The molecular formula of Sucrose is C12H22O11. Watch what you are calling a sugar because there are disaccharides (2sugars like sucrose) and monosaccharides (single sugar like glucose).
How does an organic molecule look like?
Any organic molecule contain carbon.
How many hydrogen atoms are in one molecule of sugar?
That depends on what kind of sugar you're talking about. Table sugar, or sucrose, has the formula C12H22O11. One molecule of sucrose has 22 hydrogen atoms. Blood sugar, or glucose, has the formula C6H12O6. One molecule of glucose has 12 hydrogen atoms. Other types of sugar have different formulas. If you know the chemical formula, look at the subscript to the right of the H to see how many hydrogen atoms are in one molecule of sugar.
Is a 5- carbon sugar molecule that is part of an ATP molecule?
It is a ribose sugar.

Single sugar molecule?
A single sugar molecule is known as a monosaccharide.
What does granulated sugar look like?
granules of sugar

it looks like cookies
Is sugar an inorganic molecule?
No. No molecule is inorganic.
