Detailed explanation-1: -Mono is derived from the Greek word for one. In chemistry, it often means containing only one, so the term monosaccharide means one saccharide or one sugar, indicating that it is a molecule composed of only one sugar unit and not of two or more sugar units joined together).
Detailed explanation-2: -Sucrose is not a monosaccharide, it is a disaccharide. Sucrose is formed of the monosaccharides fructose and glucose.
Detailed explanation-3: -Monosaccharides are colourless and crystalline compounds. They are readily soluble in water. They have sweet tase. D-glucose and L-glucose are mirror images of each other. The presence of asymmetric carbon atoms in a compound give rise to the formation of isomers of that compound. More items •15-Dec-2017
