Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Monosaccharides are simple sugars that cannot be further hydrolyzed into smaller sugars. Glucose, fructose, and galactose are examples of monosaccharides. Sucrose, lactose, and maltose are disaccharides composed of two monosaccharides joined by a glycosidic bond. Carbohydrate-splitting enzymes such as amylase and sucrase hydrolyze complex sugars into simple sugars, including monosaccharides. Saturated and unsaturated are terms used to describe fatty acids based on their chemical structure and level of hydrogen saturation, not monosaccharides.
