Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides (mono = one, saccharide = sugar, aka “one sugar") are monomers of carbohydrates; they are small sugars, and when they dissolve in water, they form little rings.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
