can you tell me about its structure?
A typical monosaccharide has the structure H–(CHOH)(C=O)–(CHOH)–H
Carbohydrate

what is metabolism? The set of life-sustaining chemical reactions in organisms. what are the key biochemicals? Amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acid and lipids how is the name of the second one formed? Carbon + hydrogen + oxygen (usually with a hydrogen–oxygen atom ratio of 2:1 as in water)

glycosaminoglycans), carboxylic acid (e.g. sialic acid) and deoxy modifications (e.g. fucose and sialic acid). Natural saccharides are generally built of simple carbohydrates called monosaccharides with general formula (CHO) where "n" is three or more. A typical monosaccharide has the structure H–(CHOH)(C=O)–(CHOH)–H, that is, an aldehyde or ketone with many hydroxyl groups added, usually one on each carbon atom that is not part of the aldehyde or ketone functional group. Examples of monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and glyceraldehydes. However, some biological substances commonly called "monosaccharides" do not conform to this formula (e.g. uronic acids and deoxy-sugars such as fucose) and there are many chemicals that do conform to this formula but are not considered to be monosaccharides (e.g.
