monosaccharide A monosaccharide is the most basic form of carbohydrates Monosaccharides can by combined through glycosidic bonds to form larger

monosaccharide Monosaccharide naming further distinguishes both the highest priority functional group and number of carbon atoms as well as the chirality of the highest Glucose is the most common monosaccharide consumed by humans Two other monosaccharides that occur in significant amounts in the diet are fructose and
