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 consist of a carbon chain of three or more carbon atoms containing a hydroxyl group attached to every carbon except one. The lone carbon atom is double-bonded to an oxygen atom, and this carbonyl group may be in any position along the carbon chain.iomolecules meet specific structural criteria to be classified as carbohydrates. Simple carbohydrates are modifications of short hydrocarbon chains. Several hydroxyls and one carbonyl functional group modify these hydrocarbon chains to create a monosaccharide, the base unit of all carbohydrates.
