Study Notes
Monosaccharides
- Monosaccharides are simple sugars, with glucose being the most common one.
- The name "monosaccharides" comes from the Greek words "mono" meaning "one" and "sacchar" meaning "sugar".
- Monosaccharides have a general formula of (CH2O)n.
- They typically contain three to seven carbon atoms.
- Most oxygen atoms in monosaccharides are found in hydroxyl (OH) groups.
- One oxygen atom is part of a carbonyl (C=O) group.
