Accepted Answer

Glucose is the monosaccharide that is measured as "blood sugar" because it is the primary source of energy for the body and is transported through the bloodstream to provide energy to cells. Glycerol is a component of triglycerides, which are a type of lipid. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that is stored in the liver and muscles for energy. Lactose is a disaccharide found in milk.
