A simple sugar; any of a number of sugars (including the trioses, tetroses, pentoses, hexoses, etc.), not decomposable into simpler sugars by hydrolysis. Specif., as used by some, a hexose. The monosaccharides are all open-chain compounds containing hydroxyl groups and either an aldehyde group or a ketone group.
A monosaccharide or sugar is a carbohydrate that can not be broken down (hydrolized) into smaller sugars. Monosaccharides have between 3 and 7 carbon atoms.
A simple sugar. Oligosaccharides and polysaccharides are made up of monosaccharides.
Any simple sugar with the formula (CH2O) where
the simplest type of sugar. It contains one molecule, e.g. glucose. Two monosaccharides join to form a disaccharide, e.g. lactose, and many monosaccharides join to form a polysaccharide, e.g. starch.
Monosaccharides, also called simple sugars, consist of a single sugar molecule and cannot be further decomposed by hydrolysis. They form the basis of more complex sugars.
A carbohydrate monomer. Glucose and fructose are common examples.
A carbohydrate which cannot be hydrolyzed to a simpler carbohydrate.
the simplest kind of carbohydrate consisting of a single sugar molecule.
A carbohydrate consisting of a single molecule.
A simple sugar, such as glucose or ribose.
a carbohydrate consisting of one simple sugar
a long-chain polymer formed of simple sugars
a simple sugar, such as glucose, fructose, or galactose
a single molecule of sugar whether it be glucose,
a single sugar such as glucose, fructose, or galactose
Monosaccharide means "one" "sugar". They are simple carbohydrates that contain only one sugar molecule. Common monosaccharides are glucose, fructose and galactose.
A simple carbohydrate composed of one sugar molecule, such as glucose and fructose.
single chain molecules of sugars
a carbohydrate that can not be decomposed by hydrolysis. It is commonly called Simple Sugar.
Gk. monos, single + sakcharon, sugar] A The simplest carbohydrate, active alone or serving as a monomer for disaccharides and polysaccharides. Also known as simple sugars, the molecular formulas of monosaccharides are generally some multiple of CH
A simple sugar molecule; a sugar monomer. Glucose and fructose are two examples of simple sugars.
The component unit of an oligosaccharide or polysaccharide.
a simple carbohydrate made up of one sugar molecule. Ex. Glucose and fructose.
Carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler compounds; also called as simple sugar; e.g. xylose, glucose.
a carbohydrate (sugar) that consists of a single ring
The simplest type of carbohydrate. Monosaccharides, which cannot be broken down chemically into simpler carbohydrates, also are known as simple sugars. Examples of monosaccharides include the isomers glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Any of several carbohydrates that cannot be broken down to simpler sugars by hydrolysis. Also called simple sugar. Myelin sheath The insulating envelope that surrounds the core of a nerve fiber facilitates the transmission of nerve impulses.
Simple sugars, such as glucose, having only one sugar unit.
A molecule with single unit of sugar
1. The simplest sugar; has the general formula of two hydrogen atoms per one oxygen atom and one carbon atom. 2. A sugar like sucrose or fructose, except that does not hydrolyze (break down in water) to give other sugars; the simplest group of carbohydrates. find all NHC pages containing: monosaccharide
One of the simplest sugars, e.g. glucose, fructose.
Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrates. They consist of one sugar and are usually colorless, water-soluble, crystalline solids. Some monosaccharides have a sweet taste.
