Detailed explanation-1: -Monosaccharides (from Greek monos: single, sacchar: sugar), also called simple sugars, are the simplest forms of sugar and the most basic units (monomers) from which all carbohydrates are built. (though not all molecules with this formula are monosaccharides).

Detailed explanation-2: -Monosaccharides: The Sweet Ones 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.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -If the carbohydrate is made up of a single-sugar monomer, it is called a monosaccharide–mono meaning one, and sacchar meaning sugar. Each of these are made up of chains of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen in the (CH2O)n ratio, but they differ by “n”.
