The word monosacharides can be broken down into 2 parts mono meaning one and sacharide meaning sugar thus saying that monosacharides have a compound structure that consists of one sugar

Why monosacharides are solubles in water?

monosacharides are a simple carbohydrate, basically sugar. so it is one hydrophilic molecule, unlike polysachaides that have other sugars attached, which makes it less complicated to dissolve. and with the 2 to 1 ratio of H to O, it essentially already has water in it, making it easy for water to attach to the individual molecules.

What are two examples of monosacharides?

Glucose and fructose are two examples of monosaccharides. They are simple sugars that consist of a single sugar unit and are the basic building blocks of carbohydrates.


What is added to a glucose molecule to make fructose?

both glucose and fructose are monosacharides, so you can add someting to a mono... to make another one. although, if you add them together, you get sucorse


What are two monosaccharides being hooked together?

If two monosacharides are together, this then means it is classified as a disacharide. However, if it has many more than just two monosacharides 'joined together', then that means it is classified as a polysacheride. Fat cell structures are commonly known as triglycerides, and they consist of fatty acid chains and glycerol.


When polysacharides turn into monosacharides this is called?

This process is called hydrolysis, where water molecules are used to break down the bonds between the individual sugar units in polysaccharides, resulting in the formation of monosaccharides.
