Question

What is a monosaccharide? A disaccharide?

Short answer

Part a) Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and are termed simple sugars.

Part b) A disaccharide is made of monosaccharide devices that can be separated into monosaccharide devices.

Step-by-step solution

Introduction 

• Carbohydrates are the simple constructing blocks of all residing things. Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen atoms are located in diverse combos in all carbohydrates.
• Monosaccharides and disaccharides are the $2$maximum not unusual place sugar kinds.

Monosaccharides 

• Monosaccharides are the simplest carbohydrates and are termed simple sugars.
• These monosaccharides are composed of $C,H$and $O$atoms.
• The widespread formulation of Monosaccharides is ${\left(C{H}_{2}O\right)}_n$.
• Monosaccharides are discovered in aldehyde shape or ketone shape.

Disaccharides

• Disaccharides are sugar molecules composed of monosaccharides. Therefore each disaccharide consists of chemical rings.
• The bond among monosaccharides is known as a glycosidic bond.
• Disaccharides also are easy sugars.
• Disaccharides are categorized into companies in keeping with their decreasing strength.
• Reducing sugars can act as a decreasing agent
• Non-decreasing sugars can not act as a decreasing agent.
