The two simplest sugars Some Monosaccharides Note Numerous Chiral Carbons Isomerism Isomers Compounds having same chemical formula but different structural formula The No. Some Monosaccharides All carbons in a monosaccharide are bonded to a hydroxyl group (-OH) except for one which is bonded to a carbonyl group (=O) (note that this statement is true only for the linear form of monosaccharides) Functional group: Aldehyde group – aldoses Keto group – ketoses Monosaccharides Further classified based on: 1. Polysaccharides:more than 10 sugar units Homopolysaccharides and heteropolysaccharides. Oligosaccharides: 3-10 monosaccharide units.
