Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Single sugars, called monosaccharides supply ____ to cells.
A
energy
B
health
C
calcium
D
hydrolysis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The simplest sugars consist of a single monosaccharide. They include glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose is a simple sugar that is used for energy by the cells of living things.

Detailed explanation-2: -The most nutritionally important and abundant monosaccharide is glucose, which is used as the major cell fuel in the human body and can be found unbound in body tissues and fluids. Glucose is the building block of several polysaccharides. Galactose and fructose are also used as cell fuel.

Detailed explanation-3: -The monosaccharide consists of single unit which contains carbon chain of three to six carbon. They can combine through glycosidic bonds to form larger carbohydrates. The main function of monosaccharide is to produce and store energy.

Detailed explanation-4: -Monosaccharides serve two main functions within a cell. They are used to store and produce energy. Glucose is a particularly important energy molecule. Energy is released when its chemical bonds are broken.

Detailed explanation-5: -Simple sugars are called monosaccharides; these are made up of single sugar molecules. The three main monosaccharides that we consume are fructose, galactose and glucose.
