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 classified as well based on their functional groups. A functional group is categorized by atoms or bonds that are responsible for the chemical reactivity within a molecule. If a monosaccharide contains a ketone group in an inner atom, then the monosaccharide is classified as a ketose. A ketone group is a carbon atom forming a double bond with oxygen and single bonds with two hydrocarbon groups.
