When the number of carbon atoms in a molecule is low (from three to seven), then the carbohydrate is a simple sugar, or monosaccharide.
An example of a disaccharide is sucrose, made up of glucose and fructose. The equation to represent this is: C12H22O11 (sucrose) = C6H12O6 (glucose) + C6H12O6 (fructose).
Carbohydrates are the type of macromolecules that contain units called monosaccharides. Monosaccharides are simple sugars that serve as the building blocks for more complex carbohydrates.
The monosaccharide glucose is a building block of a plant's cell wall. Glucose molecules polymerize to form the structural polysaccharide cellulose, which provides rigidity and strength to the plant cell wall.
Monosacchrides are the simplest form of sugar, called glucose when it is in the blood. It is the end result of carbohydrate breakdown, which is the body's preferred source of energy. So, you could say the monosacchrides are the fuel of the body.(AKA) or is used to supply energy. (energy production)Answer came from:What_is_the_function_of_a_monosaccharide
I'm not sure about polysaccrides, but monosacchrides are stored in the cytosol, in which they undergo glycolosis.
monosacchrides
No, they are simple sugars, like glucose.
Carbohydrates.
Your question is unclear. What number of what are you looking for.
A monosacchride is a simple sugar. Glucose (C6H12O6) is considered to be a monosaccahride. Two monosacchrides make a disacchride.
The process is called condensation or dehydration synthesis. In this process, a water molecule is removed as monosaccharides are linked together to form polysaccharides.

First a sacchride (sugar molecule) is THE absolute most readily available/usable form of energy. The body does no work to use it, just puts it to use immediately. Concentrated sweets, scientifically (unscientifically) are monosacchrides (1 sugar molecule). There are also disacchrides (2 sugar molecules), and polysacchrides (many sugar molecules). To picture this thing of a snow flake. One snow flake would melt instantly. Two snowflakes would take slightly longer to melt. Many, many snowflakes packed together would take longer to melt. The same is true for the sugars above. Concentrated sweets pack together monosacchrides, and when eaten, the body does no work, and has to wait no length of time for them to be used as energy. Similar to the solo snowflake that melts.
