In nature, monosaccharides with _ carbon atoms are found.
Correct answer: C. Three to seven
- A. One to three
- B. One to seven
- C. Three to seven
- D. Three to thousands
Explanation
In nature, monosaccharides with three to seven carbon atoms are found which are trioses, tetroses, pentoses, heptoses and hexoses. Monosaccharides serve several vital functions in living organisms, primarily as a rapid source of energy, the fundamental building blocks for complex carbohydrates and other biomolecules, and key components in cellular communication and structure.

About Biological Molecules
The chapter covers water's polarity and biological roles, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and nucleic acids, including their monomers, bonds, structures and functions. It also distinguishes RNA from DNA and explains conjugated molecules such as glycoproteins, glycolipids and nucleoproteins, which combine organic molecules with a non-protein component.
