    Study Notes

    Monosaccharides

    • Monosaccharides are simple sugars that are classified based on the number of carbon atoms they contain.
    • Triose - contains 3 carbon atoms
    • Tetrose- contains 4 carbons atoms
    • Pentose - contains 5 carbons atoms
    • Hexose- contains 6 carbon atoms
    • Heptose- contains 7 carbon atoms
    • These simple sugars can form more complex structures by bonding together to create disaccharides.
