Question

1. which of the following is not a characteristic of monosaccharides? a. generally a multiple of ch₂o b. can be linked together to make polymers c. contain hydroxyl and carbonyl groups d. all of the above are characteristics of monosaccharides.

Explanation:

Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates. They are generally a multiple of $CH_2O$. They can be linked together through glycosidic bonds to form polymers like polysaccharides. They contain hydroxyl (-OH) and carbonyl (C=O) functional groups. So all the given statements are characteristics of monosaccharides.

Answer:

D. All of the above are characteristics of monosaccharides
