Monosaccharides

Monosaccharides may be divided into aldoses, which have an aldehyde group on the first carbon atom, and ketoses, which typically have a ketone group on the second.

Monosaccharides are simple sugars, having 3 to 7 carbon atoms. They can be bonded together to form polysaccharides.
Example: Glucose, fructose, and galactose are monosaccharides; their structural formula is C6H12O6.

Monosaccharides
Three common sugars share the same molecular formula: C6H12O6. Because of their six carbon atoms, each is a hexose.
They are: ...

monosaccharides - the simplest of all sugars; compounds with the general formula (CH2O)n, where n is an integer from 3 through 7. i.e. glucose (C6H12O6), n=6. The addition of more than one monosaccharide via a covalent bond results in ...
