Monosaccharides

Question

Monosaccharides
A) include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
B) include sucrose, lactose, and maltose.
C) are classified as saturated and unsaturated.
D) are carbohydrate-splitting enzymes.

Accepted Answer

Monosaccharides are single sugar molecules and the most common ones are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Options B and C are incorrect because sucrose, lactose, and maltose are disaccharides, not monosaccharides, and saturated and unsaturated are terms used to describe fats, not carbohydrates. Option D is incorrect because carbohydrate-splitting enzymes are not monosaccharides, but rather enzymes that break down complex carbohydrates into simpler monosaccharides.
