Respuesta :
-the location of their carbonyl group
-the number of carbon atoms they contain
-the orientations of their hydroxyl groups
Option C, D and F are the correct answer.
What are the characteristics of a monosaccharide?
The monosaccharides are the simplest form of complex carbohydrates and most of them can be represented with the empirical formula (C-H2OR)n.
One of the best known abundant monosaccharide is d-glucose which is six carbon atoms based sugar ring, major source of energy.
These compounds are derived from aldehydes or ketones with at least three carbon atoms in their structure.
These are white in color and crystalline, sweet taste, highly soluble in water due to polar nature.
Each monosaccharides bind with other by forming glyosidic bonds.
They are major source of energy for cells, involve in cell-cell interaction and act as an intermediate metabolites in enzymatic reactions.
Some derivatives of monosaccharide re glycosides, N-glycosylamines or N-glucosides, Muramic acid and neuraminic acid Sugars-alcohols etc.
Thus, Option C, D and F are the correct answer.
