Which of the following statements is true regarding carbohydrates?

Carbohydrates, such as glycogen and starch, are composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and function as important energy sources.

Carbohydrates are composed of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen and are made up of peptide bonds linking amino acids.

Carbohydrates are composed of subunits called fatty acids and glycerol, which are made up of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and are important in energy storage.

Carbohydrates are composed of a sugar, phosphate, and nucleotide base and are important in cell structure.

Okay. You want to answer? This question was about carbohydrate. Mhm. So these carbohydrates are biomolecules consisting of Carbon, hydrogen and of the atoms usually with a hydrogen of thing. Of seeing Adam Radio of two To one. And while they are going to have a formula of like this right? Where this m may or not may not be different from end. However, we can divide these carbohydrates in growth. For example, we can have motorcycle rides. Uh huh. But they are not like that. That seems simple confederate because we have also by satellites, the doctor when you place together to motorcycle guys and we have also police are correct not of you when you place many monasteries together for example, one Minnesota is going to be a glucose. When you place many locals together, they're going they're going to produce we like that is a police arrived. Okay. Talking about the chemical structure of a carbohydrate, A typical moussaka. Right? When there is like a simple carbohydrate has the structure that is going to contain either and all the hide or get on. Okay. But with always with hydroxide groups had it. Okay, so you can have a height, height or a kitten. But you are always going to have hydroxide groups. So these questions is hey, which of the following statements about functional groups in carbohydrate? The structure is for our two option A just a carbohydrate must have another fight. Another group. And this option is true option. Visas, a carbohydrate always has a hydroxide group is also true. As we stated here options, this is a carbohydrate must have a car back silic acid group, and this is false. Okay, Then we have option data, says A and B, but not C. R. Truth, and this is true. So Option B is the answer for this question.

Which of the following statements best describes a functional group?

Functional groups are specific groups or recognizable group of atoms or bonds within molecules that are responsible for the characteristic chemical reactions of those molecules.

What is a functional group quizlet?

A functional group is a portion of a molecule that is a recognizable/classified group of bound atoms. In organic chemistry it is very common to see molecules comprised mainly of a carbon backbone with functional groups attached to the chain.

Which statement about methyl functional group is correct?

Answer and Explanation: The given compound is methyl group: a) As per the statement, carbon forms three bonds with hydrogen. It is correct as CH3 C H 3 represents the methyl group.

What are functional groups and how are they used to classify organic molecules?

A functional group is an atom or group of atoms that is responsible for a particular chemical property of an organic compound. Organic compounds can be classified according to their functional groups. A functional group gives an organic compound a property that is different than it would otherwise have.
