- A simple sugar such as glucose, fructose or deoxyribose that has a single ring
- Polyhydroxy aldehydes H-[CHOH]n-CHO or polyhydroxy ketones H-[CHOH]n-CO-[CHOH]m-H with three or more carbon atoms. A single unit, without glycosidic connection to other such units.
- A simple sugar that cannot be decomposed by hydrolysis (e.g., fructose, galactose, glucose).
- One class of the natural products called carbohydrates with the general formula Cx(H2O)y; monosaccharides have a weak sweet taste, are readily soluble in water, and are called sugars
- A type of carbohydrate that is a simple sugar. (33)
- Term meaning a single sugar or simple carbohydrate; can be aldehydes and ketones comprised of 3, 4, 5 or 6 carbons with the general structure (CH2O) n; xylose, arabinose, glucose, fructose, galactose, mannose are all monosaccharides
