APPLIED RADIOLOGICAL ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates since they cannot be hydrolyzed to smaller carbohydrates. Chemically they are aldehydes or ketones possessing two or more hydroxyl groups, and are important as building blocks for the synthesis of nucleic acids, as well as fuel molecules, that is, in glycolysis.

Detailed explanation-2: -Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates (simple sugars) which are not cleaved by hydrolysis to smaller carbohydrates. Isomers are compounds with identical molecular formulas. Isomers can be categorized into the two different groups of constitutional isomers or stereoisomers.
