Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides are carbohydrates that cannot be hydrolyzed to simpler carbohydrates. These compounds may be aldehydes or ketones, or acetals or ketals which yield an alcohol and a monosaccharide when hydrolyzed.
Detailed explanation-2: -⇒ Monosaccharides ⇒ Simplest form of carbohydrate whch cannot be hydrolysed further. They have general formula(CH2O)n.
