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 what 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 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 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.


What is the the chemical formula for a single molecule of sugar?

The chemical formula of sucrose is C12H22O11.

What is the simplest unit of a compound that maintains all the characteristics of the compound?

The simplest unit of a compound that maintains all the characteristics of the compound is a molecule. A molecule is formed when two or more atoms chemically bond together. Each molecule retains the specific arrangement and ratios of atoms that define the compound's properties.


What does an ATP molecule look like and what is its structure?

An ATP molecule is made up of three components: a sugar molecule called ribose, a nitrogenous base called adenine, and three phosphate groups. The structure of an ATP molecule is a chain of these components linked together. The phosphate groups are attached to the ribose sugar, with the adenine base at one end. This structure allows ATP to store and release energy for cellular processes.
