None. They are two different compounds.\n\nIt looks like you want to compare a specific property of the alcohols. Please specify!

The same array of inorganic and simple organic molecules would be able to exist on an earth-like planet. This includes the different chiralities.\n\nComplex organic molecules, manufactured by living individuals (plants/ animals) have developed through evolutionary processes, and evolution is driven by random chance. So I would expect differences in the particular proteins etc. that have evolved.\n\nOn a non-earth-like planet (different temperatures/ pressures etc.), different molecules would be stable so you might get a completely different chemistry.

Organic compounds all have carbon. No carbon in the molecular structure, then it is not organic. I don't think you can limit the number of classes to four. In living organisms, classes include carbohydrates, lipids, amino acids, and nucleic acids.  Almost all organic compounds fall into one these classes.

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with the exception of carbides, carbonates, and carbon oxides.

An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon and hydrogen; therefore, carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and elementary carbon are not organic. The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry, and since it is a vast collection of chemicals (over half of all known chemical compounds), systems have been devised to classify organic compounds. A few of the compound classes are as follows:\n\nAcid anhydrides \nAcyl halides \nAlcohols \nAldehydes \nAlkanes \nAlkenes \nAmides \nAmines \nAromatics \nAzo compounds \nCarboxylic acids \n Esters \nEthers \nHaloalkanes \nImines \nKetones \nNitriles \nNitro compounds \nOrganometallics \nPhenols \nPolymers, including all plastics \nThiols \n \nMethane, a common fuel, is the simplest possible organic compound\n\nMany organic compounds are also of prime importance in biochemistry:\n\nAntigens \nPolysaccharides, carbohydrates and sugars \nEnzymes \nHormones \nLipids and fatty acids \nNeurotransmitters \nNucleic acids \nProteins, peptides and amino acids \nVitamins

Yes and No...\n\nAll Organic Compounds contain Carbon, but not all compounds containing Carbon are Organic.\n\nas quoted from my source, listed below...\n\n"An organic compound is any member of a large class of chemical compounds whose molecules contain carbon, with the exception of carbides, carbonates, carbon oxides and gases containing carbon.The study of organic compounds is termed organic chemistry. Many of these compounds, such as proteins, fats, and carbohydrates (sugars), are also of prime importance in biochemistry.\n\nThe dividing line between organic and inorganic is contended and historically arbitrary; generally speaking, however, organic compounds are defined as those compounds which have carbon-hydrogen bonds, and inorganic compounds, those without. Thus carbonic acid is inorganic, whereas formic acid, the first fatty acid, is organic, although it could as well be called "carbonous acid" and its anhydride, carbon monoxide, is inorganic"

Hello,\n\nHere is the Molecular Formula for Sucrose.\n\nC12 H22 O11 \n \nMonosugars with a six atom ring C5 O are called Pyranose Sugars, e.g. glucose. \nMonosugars with a five atom ring C4 O are called Furanose Sugars, e.g. fructose.\n\nI hope this will help you.\n\nThank You,\nSreekar.

Ok...The most important element in organic chemistry is CARBON. Organic chemistry mainly is about organic compounds:alkanes, alkenes, arenes, haloalkenes, hydroxy compounds(aliphatic alcohols and ethers, phenols and aromatic alcohols), aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, polymers......wow, there are alot more, can't list all out dude....hopefully u know wat i hv listed out...

CH2O is the empirical formula for a simple sugar, such as glucose.  It is also the empirical formula for many other carbohydrates.\n\nThe molecular formula is always a whole number multiple of the empiracal formula.  For example, C6H12O6 is the molecular formula for glucose, referenced above.

Elements:\n\nMain constituents are H, C, O, N, with considerable amounts of Ca, Na, P, S, Cl, less Mg, K, Fe, I, and traces of about any common element.\n\nThe most common simple molecule is water.\n\nMost important "inorganic" compounds are CaCO3 (in the bones), NaCl (dissolved in the water) and Ca2(PO4)OH in the teeth.\n\nThe main classes of chemicals are carbohydrates and proteins, which form the main structural elements of our cells as well as most of the functional framework. (DNA for instance has a modified carbohydrate linked by phosphate as its structural basis). Fats (triglycerides of fatty acids) are abundant, but don't participate structurally in most features of human anatomy except as fillers (lower skin, lips, breasts...)

The primary sugars in honey are dextrose and levulose.  The composition of corn syrups can vary, depending on how it is refined.  The primary sugars in it are fructose and glucose.  Table sugar, as you said, is primarily sucrose.\n\nThere is a lot to be said about sugar/carbohydrate chemistry, so I would refer to an organic chemistry book to learn more (I've forgotten a lot from my O Chem days).  I do remember that sucrose is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose (both monosaccharides).  A monosaccharide is basically a carbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed into smaller compounds.  Compounds composed of many monosaccharides (polysaccharides) are called starches or complex carbohydrates.\n\nAs far as what nutritional impact different sugars have, I'm definitely not qualified to answer that.

Just remember glucose (C6H12O6). Then using the basics of balancing any chemical equation you can figure out the rest of it.

Hate to break it to you but fruit doesn't have a molecular structure. No more than an elephant or a house has a molecular structure. These things are complex muli-molecular constructs, not molecules.\n\nYou can certainly find out the molecular structure of fruit components. \n\n95% of most fruit is just water, H2O. That should be easy enough for you to find on the web.\n\nOf the remaining 5% around 60% will be cellulose. That is a fairly simple polysaccharide. And again the molecular structure is easy to find on the web now that you know the name.\n\nOf the 2% remaining 99% will be sugars. Primarily fructose in most cases but also glucose and a range of other di and monsaccharides. Once more, the molecular structuresof these substances have been well studied and are freely vailable on the web..\n\nOf the 0.01% left over 50% at least will be the lipids and liposaccharides of the cell walls. These vary considerably between fruit species. But once again there is welathof information on the web if you search for "cell membrane lipid structure" or similar and add the species name you are interested in.\n\nMost of the rest will be various enzymes and other proteins. These also vary with the fruit, but they have also  been extensively studied. Some, like papayin and those enzymes associated with the TCA cycle are easily found on the web.\n\nThe rest, less than 0.001 of most fruit, will be various vitamins (molecular structure widely and eaily available on the web) and the esters, ketones, terpenes, alcohols and so forth that produce the characterictic odour of the fruit. SOme of these have been widley studied, often by the food flavourings and cosmetics industries. \n\nYou should be able to find a lot of info by doing a search on those molecules + the species you are dealing with. I;ve oncluded a few example earches below. They readily return results like \n\n"Composed of one or more aromatic benzene rings with one or more hydroxyl groups (C-OH). This enormous class includes numerous plant compounds that are chemically distinct from terpenes. Although the essential oils are often classified as terpenes, many of these volatile chemicals are actually phenolic compounds, such as eucalyptol from (Eucalytus globulus), citronellal from (E. citriodora) and clove oil from Syzygium aromaticum."\n\nand \n""Bitter orange oil", expressed from the peel, is in demand for flavoring candy, ice cream, baked goods, gelatins and puddings, chewing gum, soft drinks, liqueurs and pharmaceutical products, especially if the water-or alcohol-insoluble terpenes and sesquiterpenes are removed. "\n\nThat sounds like the type of thing you want. It's quite easy to find if you know where to start.

Carbohydrates: include sugars and their polymers. They include monosaccharides disaccharides, and polysaccharides. The monosaccharide is a monomer, the disaccharide is a polymer,and the polysaccharides are macromolecules.\n \nMonosaccharides: The basic formula (CH2O)\nExamples: triose sugars, 3 carbons, glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone; pentose sugars. 5 carbons. ribose, deoxyribose, and ribulose; hexose sugars, 6 carbons, glucose, galactose, and fructose.\n     \n\n \n \nDisaccharides: These are double sugars with the formula C12H22O11. Notice that one molecule of water is missing from the formula. The covalent bond holding the two monomers together is called a 1-4 or 1-2 glycoside linkage. Examples: sucrose = glucose + fructose. maltose = glucose + glucose, and lactose = glucose + galactose.\n \n     \n\n \nPolysaccharides: The basic formula is ( C6H10O5)n . These are macromolecules capable of acting as structural or storage molecules.\n \nStorage Polysaccharides: Starch is a plant storage polysaccharide that is composed entirely of glucose joined by @1-4 glycoside linkages. amylose is the simplest form of starch. amylopectin is more complex and is branched. Glycogen is an animal starch stored in the liver and muscles of vertebrates. It is more highly branched than amylopectin.\n \nStructural Polysaccharides: Cellulose and chitin are examples of structural polysaccharides.\nCellulose is the most abundant organic compound on earth. It is made of glucose, like starch, but they differ in the type of 1-4 linkage. Instead of an @ linkage as in starch cellulose contains a B 1-4 linkage.\nThis causes the polysaccharide to take on a step arrangement and not a linear one like in starch.\nEnzymes find it difficult to brake the B 1-4 linkage.
