Fructose is a monosaccharide. You can also call it a "simple sugar", but generally the name for it is monosaccharide in the Biological world. The only disaccharide that involves the monomer fructose is sucrose, which is a fructose and a glucose bonded by a glycosidic linkage.

Simple sugars such as sucrose and glucose
Sugar by itself is a simple carbohydrate , but when it is in foods like potatoes that are carbs but turn into sugar in your body it is a complex carb.
No but it can break down slower than some simple sugars.
Yes, honey is a type of sugar and hence is a carbohydrate.
The monomers for carbohydrates are simple sugars called monosaccharides. Examples of monosaccharides include glucose, fructose, and galactose.
Monosaccharides, or simple sugars. They are the smallest type of carbohydrate and are chained together to form more complex carbohydrates.
The types of carbohydrate that should be limited are simple sugars (i.e. refined sugars like sugar and corn syrup, which are often found in high levels in sweets and baked goods).
Monosacharides (simple sugars) are converted into Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) aka energy.
It is a polymer of the two simple sugars maltose and dextrose. It is thus a complex carbohydrate.
Yes, they consist of one or more simple sugars
No, simple sugars are not made of polysaccharides. Simple sugars are monosaccharides, the basic units of carbohydrates, while polysaccharides are long chains of monosaccharide units linked together.
