In conclusion, use the quotient rule to help you find the derivative of functions that have fraction expressions in them, but only if you have to. It often gives you and ugly expression that is difficult to simplify and may steer you towards an incorrect answer if you use it when there are easier methods.n order to differentiate this, we need the product rule. The product rule allows us to differentiate a function when the function is a product of two distinct parts. In this example, we have the polynomial 3x 2 + 4x - 5 and the transcendental function sin(x).
1 All carbohydrates are characterized by the carbonyl functional group (C=O) along with a number of hydroxyl functional groups(CâOH). 2  Aldehydes have the carbonyl group at the end of the molecule. 3  Glucose, pictured here, is an example of an aldehyde sugar (aldose). 4  It is the most common monosaccharide in living systems.

These macromolecules are polar [polar: having different ends] because they are formed by head to tail condensation of polar monomers. Let's look at the three major classes of macromolecules to see how this works, and let's begin with carbohydrates. Monosaccharides polymerize to yield polysaccharides. Glucose is a typical monosaccharide. It has two important types of functional group: a carbonyl group (an aldehyde in glucose, some other sugars have a ketone group instead.) hydroxyl groups on the other carbons. This is what you need to know about glucose, not its detailed structure.
