Glucose is another name for monosaccharide sugar.Monosaccharide sugar is found in honey and the juices of many fruits.
mono
Give two characteristics of each mono saccharides and polysaccharides.
Sugars can be classified under various criteria.(1) According to the number of monomers present they could be classified as mono saccharides(one monomer), di saccharides(2 monomers) and oligosaccharides(3 to 10 monomers).Mono saccharides could be classified further depending on the number of C atoms present as:Triose (3 C atoms)Tetrose (4 C atoms)Pentose (5 C atoms)Hexose (6 C atoms)Heptose (7 C atoms)(2) According to the functional group present.If the functional group is an aldehyde then those sugars are AldosesIf the functional group is an ketone then those sugars are Ketoses.I saw this under the chemistry category. Hope this is what you expected.

Yes they can be found. They are very common
Monosaccharides are broken down by enzymes in the digestive system through hydrolysis, where they are split into simpler sugars like glucose. This process allows for the absorption of these simple sugars into the bloodstream for energy production in the body.
Simple sugars are called monomers which is mono saccharides.The mono saccharides for carbohydrates are glucose , fructose and glactose. Carbohydrates can also be Di saccharides which is sucrose , lactose.
