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 the simplest carbohydrates in that they cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller carbohydrates. They are aldehydes or ketones with two or more hydroxyl groups. The general chemical formula of an unmodified monosaccharide is (Câ¢H 2 O) n, literally a carbon hydrate..Monosaccharides are important fuel molecules as well as building blocks for nucleic acids. The smallest monosaccharides, for which n=3, are dihydroxyacetone and D-and L-glyceraldehydes.hile the scientific nomenclature of carbohydrates is complex, the names of the monosaccharides and disaccharides very often end in the suffix-ose. For example, grape sugar is the monosaccharide glucose, cane sugar is the disaccharide sucrose and milk sugar is the disaccharide lactose (see illustration).
