1.	What is monosaccharide? and there types?
Answer» Monosaccharides\tCarbohydrate that cannot be hydrolyzed further to give simpler unit of polyhydroxy aldehyde or ketone is called a monosaccharide.\tAbout 20 monosaccharides are known to occur in nature.1. Glucose: Glucose molecules can be broken down by glycolysis in the process of cellular respiration. Glucose can be connected in long strings of monosaccharides to form polysaccharides. In plants, this thing is produced as\xa0cellulose. In plants, each cell is surrounded by cellulose that helps plants stand tall and turgid.2. Fructose:\xa0Fructose belongs to the ketose group. Differently shaped monosaccharides break down the specific enzyme. If fructose, combines with other monosaccharides then they form oligosaccharides. Sucrose has a fructose molecule joined with a glucose molecule with the help of a glycosidic bond.3. Galactose:\xa0Galactose is produced by mammals in the form of milk. Lactose holds a lot of energy in its bonds and for breaking down the bonds apart, specific enzymes are developed by off springs of mammals.\xa0.
