Three common types of monosaccharides are glucose, fructose, and galactose. Glucose is a primary energy source for cells and is crucial in cellular respiration. Fructose, found in fruits, serves as a natural sweetener and can be metabolized for energy. Galactose, often part of lactose in dairy products, is essential for the synthesis of various biomolecules, including glycoproteins and glycolipids.

What different types of sugars are there?

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.
