The Quotient Rule. Now, we want to be able to take the derivative of a fraction like f / g, where f and g are two functions. This one is a little trickier to remember, but luckily it comes with its own song. Common Mistake: Remembering the quotient rule wrong and getting an extra minus sign in the answer. It's very easy to forget whether it's ho dee hi first (yes, it is) or hi dee ho first (no, it's not).
Simple monosaccharides have a linear and unbranched carbon skeleton with one carbonyl (C=O) functional group, and one hydroxyl (OH) group on each of the remaining carbon atoms.urther, each carbon atom that supports a hydroxyl group (so, all of the carbons except for the primary and terminal carbon) is chiral, giving rise to a number of isomeric forms, all with the same chemical formula.
Monosaccharides are characterized by the number of carbon atoms their molecules contain. Monosaccharides with the formula C6H12O6 include glucose, galactose and fructose, which are sugars used by organisms for energy.
