Detailed explanation-1: -1 Monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates; most of them are sugars. Monosaccharides may have between three and eight carbon atoms, but only those with five carbons (pentoses) and six carbons (hexoses ) are common.
Detailed explanation-2: -1. Glucose is one of several different carbohydrate monomers called monosaccharides. To build the ring version of glucose, start by constructing a closed ring formed by five carbon atoms and one oxygen atom. Be sure to use only single (short, non-flexible) bonds in your molecule.
Detailed explanation-3: -The simplest carbohydrates are called monosaccharides, or simple sugars. They are the building blocks (monomers) for the synthesis of polymers or complex carbohydrates, as will be discussed further in this section. Monosaccharides are classified based on the number of carbons in the molecule.
