Monosaccharides are classified based on their backbone of carbon (C) atoms.In fact , they exist in five types and they are :1. Trioses have three carbon atoms, 2. tetroses four,3. pentoses five, 4.hexoses six, and 5.heptoses seven
1-3 largest to smallestPolysaccharde (It's a long chain of monosaccharides)Disaccharide ("Di" is Greek for 2. It's made of 2 monosaccharides)Monosaccharide (simple sugar like glucose, galactose, or fructose)
No simple sugar is a monosaccharide And a polysaccharide is made up of many monosaccharides the opposite .Remember this (C.H2.O)n where is n is at least 3 or greater.There is three carbon sugar(triose),four carbon sugar(tetrose),five carbon sugar (pentose), and there is six carbon sugar(Hexose).......and so on..... But there is only one exception Diose(two carbon sugar) called Glycolaldehyde and it doesn't have ketone because it has only two carbon.There is no one carbon and two carbon sugar except the exception Glycolaldehyde. I hope I didn't answer it in a complicated way. By Muhammad Mehernosh Haidary
Nucleotides have one of four bases, a phosphate group and a sugar.
A simple fat molecule is composed of glycerol which is a simple sugar and 3 fatty acids, which are also chains of carbon and hydrogen with a carboxyl group at one end.
No, a C3 sugar is a sugar containing 3 carbons. A trisaccharide is composed of 3 monosaccharide sugars.
Mono meaning one and poly meaning many (which is three or more). A monosaccharide are simple carbohydrate which is also refered to as simple sugars. Polysaccharides can be quite simple carbohydates (with 3 or more sugar units) or can be very complex such as in cellulose.
Monosaacharides are one sugar molecules Disaacharides are two sugars Polysaacharides are 3+ sugar molecules. It is important to know the difference if you are taking biochemistry!

simple sugars known as saccharides. monosaccharide - 1 disaccharide - 2 polysaccharide - 3 or more
Complex sugars are compounds made up of 3 or more simple sugars. For example, glucose is a monosaccharide (1 sugar) Lactose is a disaccharide (made up of 2 sugars) Amylose is a polysaccharide (thousands of sugars in the chain) so it is considered a "complex" sugar. Glucose is one of the sugars that usually makes up a "complex" sugar.
They are the simple sugars in a carbohydrate (ex. glucose) All carbohydrates, whether it be simple glucose or complex starch, are classified as a sugar. Any of a class of carbohydrates that can't be broken down into simple sugars by hydrolysis. A monosaccharide is the most basic unit of carbohydrates and the simplest form of sugars.
Glycerol, which might be called a "sugar alcohol" (though it's not usually called a "simple sugar"; it's a little too simple to be a simple sugar) and 3 fatty acids (or, more properly chemically, carboxylic acids).
A 5-carbon sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.
