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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the ratio of sugar carbon atoms to oxygen?
Which sugar. There are many different sugars and the ratio can vary. If you mean sucrose, there are 12 carbons and 11 oxygens, so ratio of carbon to oxygen is 12:11
Does sugar have hydrogen?
Sugar contains 6 percent of hydrogen content
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.
What is the chemical formula of deoxyribose?
The chemical formula of deoxyribose is C5H10O4. It is a monosaccharide sugar that forms part of the backbone of DNA.
Is ribose sugar a simple sugar?
Yes. It is a 5-carbon monosaccharide.
Is monosaccharide an element?
No, a monosaccharide is not an element. It is a simple sugar molecule made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms.
The simplest and the most common monosaccharide is a six-carbon sugar called?
Glucose
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.
What is Five carbon sugar?
A five-carbon sugar is a monosaccharide molecule composed of five carbon atoms. Examples include ribose and xylose. These sugars play important roles in various metabolic processes within living organisms.
What organic group does ribose belong to?
Ribose is a sugar making it a carbohydrate.
Is mannose a disaccharides?
No, mannose is a monosaccharide, meaning it is a simple sugar consisting of a single sugar unit. It is not a disaccharide, which is a carbohydrate composed of two monosaccharide units.
What is one sugar?
Monosaccharide
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 monosaccharide of five carbons is a?
A carbohydrate with five carbon atoms in its molecular structure.
Is DNA a 6 carbon sugar?
No, DNA is not a sugar. DNA is composed of phosphate groups, deoxyribose sugar, and nitrogenous bases, but it is not itself a sugar. Deoxyribose sugar in DNA is a 5-carbon sugar, not a 6-carbon sugar.
What is the symbol for sugar?
The symbol for Glucose is C6H12O6. It is made of Carbon - 6, Hydrogen - 12, and Oxygen - 6.
