Ans. ‘A’ Monosaccharides
Molecules having only one actual or potential sugar group are called monosaccharides (Greek, mono= one; saccharide = sugar). They cannot be further hydrolyzed into smaller units.
The general molecular formula of monosaccharide is Cn(H2O)n. For example, glucose has the molecular formula C6H12O6.
