Another name for a six-carbon sugar is a hexose. A monosaccharide ("single sugar") is a chemical compound whose molecules can be found in chains in other compounds. An example is glucose. One molecule of glucose is a six-carbon compound. But when two glucose molecules combine, the product is a disaccharide ("two-sugar compound"), namely maltose. The common sugar used in cooking is sucrose, another disaccharide, consisting of one glucose and one fructose residue (component). Yet another hexose, galactose, combines with glucose to form the disaccharide lactose.

How many atoms of carbons are in galactose?
Glucose (C6H12O6) is a monosaccharide that contains twelve hydrogen atoms, six carbon atoms and six oxygen atoms. A glucose and fructose molecule combine to create a sucrose molecule.
A carbon atom from carbon dioxide is used to change the five carbon sugar RuBP into?
a six carbon sugar
How many atom contains in sugar?
It depends on the sugar. The monosaccharides glucose, fructose, and galactose have the molecular formula C6H12O6, and therefore have 6 carbon atoms, 12 hydrogen atoms, and 6 oxygen atoms per molecule. The disaccharides sucrose and maltose have the molecular formula C12H22O11, and therefore have 12 carbon atoms, 22 hydrogen atoms, and 11 oxygen atoms per molecules.
Why is there no penultimate carbon in a two carbon sugar?
because there is no such thing as a two carbon sugar. the smallest and simplest monosaccharides are trioses (3 carbon sugars)
Is sugar a pure compound?
Not exactly.Everyday sugar is sucrose, which is a disaccharide. That is a sugar which is made up of two sugar units: glucose and fructose. Glucose and fructose are monosaccharide sugars, which are the smallest unit of sugar. Glucose and fructose are both 6-carbon-sugars, or hexoses and have the same chemical formula, C6H12O6. But their molecular structures are different so that they have different properties: fructose is much sweeter than glucose.Sucrose is produced when one molecule each of glucose and fructose combine together in a condensation reaction, a process in which one molecule of water is removed.Thus glucose + fructose => sucrose + wateror C6H12O6 + C6H12O6 = C12H22O11 + H2O
Is ribose sugar a simple sugar?
Yes. It is a 5-carbon monosaccharide.
The simplest and the most common monosaccharide is a six-carbon sugar called?
Glucose
A monosaccharide of five carbons is a?
A carbohydrate with five carbon atoms in its molecular structure.
What is monosacchrides?
When the number of carbon atoms in a molecule is low (from three to seven), then the carbohydrate is a simple sugar, or monosaccharide.
What is a monosaccharide structure?
Monosaccharide's consist of only one sugar molecule. (Its the basic molecular unit of all Carbohydrates). Most of them have a carbon backbone that ranges between three to seven carbon atoms. Those carbon atoms also have a hydrogen and a hydroxyl group linked to them.
Is oil a monosaccharide?
A monosaccharide is a type of sugar that cannot be further hydrolyzed into a simpler form. An oil is not a monosaccharide because it has no sugar content.
What type of sugar is a monosaccharide?
its a simple sugar such as glucose, galactose and fructose. hope this helped :)
What is the main difference between a monosaccharide and a disaccharide?
A monosaccharide is just one carbon ring and is very soluble , example : glucose. A disaccharide consists of 2 carbon rings and is partially soluble , example : lactose ( galactose + glucose = lactose)
A simple sugar such as glucose is classified as?
monosaccharide
Is dextrose a polysaccharides?
No, it is a monosaccharide - a simple or single sugar.
What is one sugar?
Monosaccharide
Is monosaccharide a sugar?
yes
