Question
What are monosaccharides?
✓
Answer
Monosaccharides are carbohydrates Which cannot be hydrolysed to smaller molecules.Their general formula is (CH20)n Where n = 3 - 7 These are of two types: Those which contain an aldehyde group (-CHO) are called aldoses and those which contain a keto (C = O) group are called ketoses.
They are further classified as trioses, tetroses ,pentoses, hexoses and heptoses according as they contain 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 carbon atoms respectively For example.
