Monosaccharide's consist of only one sugar molecule. (Its the basic molecular unit of all Carbohydrates). Most of them have a carbon backbone that ranges between three to seven carbon atoms. Those carbon atoms also have a hydrogen and a hydroxyl group linked to them.

An example of a monosaccharide could be the glucose molecule (C6H12O6). The dehydration synthesis of the glucose monosaccharides result in the joining of the monosaccharides by a glycosidic linkage, ultimately forming the polysaccharide maltose (C12H22O11) and water (H2O).
