Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the molecular formula of monosaccharides?
A
C6H12O6
B
(CH2O)n
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The general formula for a monosaccharide is (CH2O)n. Monosaccharides are the simplest form of carbohydrate, which means they cannot be hydrolyzed or broken down into smaller carbohydrates. Monosaccharides are important molecules that complex carbohydrates are broken down into, in order to generate energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -Carbohydrates have the general molecular formula (CH2O)n. These are simple sugars that serve as fuel molecules as well as fundamental constituents of living organisms, are the simplest carbohydrates, and are required as energy sources.

Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and are often called single sugars. They are the building blocks from which all bigger carbohydrates are made. Monosaccharides have the general molecular formula (CH2O)n, where n can be 3, 5 or 6.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbohydrates are carbon-rich molecules with the empirical formula (CH2O)n, where n is a variable number. Carbohydrates are polymers that comprise simple sugars.

Detailed explanation-5: -All the monosaccharides have the formula as (CH2O) n. Here, the two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom associate itself to the central carbon molecule. A hydroxyl group is formed when oxygen will bond with hydrogen.
